Shock tech, lets spec them all out !!

I have done Bilstein shock write ups before but this time I am wanting to know of what shocks people would like to really see works and how they ride.

As many know the #1 mod to the suspension is adjusting the front end height, leveling, cranking, "keying" what ever you call it you are changing the ride height and the factory shock is not all it can be for this let alone a ideal riding shock on a stock truck. We have the shop and we can get a stock OE truck and I am looking to gather a list of shocks that members would like to see a write up done to compare.....with real info and pic's!!!

Start posting what you want to see.......
