    What kind of shocks are you static dropped guys running ?

    In front I currently have blown belltech nitro active shocks. I really don't have any complaints because they rode better then stock and lasted almost 4 years with turned torsions. I am about to start a full suspension rebuild (poly bushings, drop spindles, torsions, ball joints etc...) and I want to hear your good or bad opinions on shocks you have tried.

    Im running tokico shocks from an 02 tacoma s-runner(bought them brand new from the dealer. $25 a pop. I'm also running drop spindles. The front of my truck rides great. For the back Im using stock shocks with 220,000 miles and 3"block. The ride is soft but good. Quick to bottom out so I to am looking for new rear shocks.

    I run doetsch shocks in the rear and have had absolutely no problem with them, before that I had Drop Nitro 2's and they seemed to do the job well for my static 2/3 drop . . .
