Shock absorbers Rough Country or GABRIEL
Reviews
I'm not going to lie. Going from Monroe/stock height to a 3in lift with rough country shocks rides great on the street.
Pros: rides great on street
I put Gabriel shocks and struts on mine.
Shocks provide a firm, stable ride
Easy to install and adapt to vehicle
Significantly improves ride quality
Pros: firm, stable ride
Cons: extremely stiff ride
Part number: 49228
If you decide to go this route, Gabriel Ultra shocks and struts from Rockauto.com are good. Avoid Monroe and the cheaper brands. KYB are OEM, but the aftermarket ones are stiffer than the OEM, but are excellent quality.
Pros: Gabriel Ultra shocks good
Cons: Monroe, cheaper brands avoid
Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.
Pros: pretty good
Cons: not as good
With that said the lift part of the kit . Pucks or springs are not bad , it’s usually the shocks they sell that are junk .
Pros: pucks or springs not bad
Cons: shocks are junk
Have installed a bunch of their lifts and shocks. Decent lifts for the price. Shocks I'm not that impressed with.
Pros: decent lifts for price
Cons: shocks not impressive
