So I'm gonna order a set of shocks tomorrow but I'm torn between the belltech drop shocks or procomp toxic shocks has anyone use either one what's the difference ? Anyone better ? Any input would be greatly appreciated
Never ran either one of those, but I just installed some kyb's from '69 camaro. They are fantastic. Way cheaper and have lifetime warranty.
KYB shocks are good. I've been using them since I 1st lowered my truck in 1984. Ranch is also good and they include shock boots.
I was looking at the toxic shocks and there are two versions one with a 12" collapse length and the other with a 9" my truck is lowered already so would I be better off getting the 9" collapse length ones?
I believe my truck came with drop shocks. Not sure what brand, but they are white and very stiff. Great for cornering. I tried 70mph on 35mph ramp and barely feel any flexing. The downside is ride is rough on bad pavement. Could take the beating so change to Gabriel from autozone. They'er just sitting in garage. If someone wants them come get them. Giving away free.
This is how low my truck sits as of now and how much travel I get from my truck which isn't much. Wouldn't I be better off with the shorter toxic shocks?
I ran Toxic shocks, front & rear, on mine with a 2/3 drop (Belltech drop spindles and 3" blocks) and the ride was great. I've never used Belltech shocks so I have no comparison,
