Shock Recommendation

[WhiteNBlackRam]

Hi Guys. I’m currently on a 4” rear drop using Belltech springs. Running the stock shocks but looking to upgrade them.

Any recommendations on which shocks to use or which not to use?
I’m running 305/45r22 if that makes a difference.

What are you running in the front

From another member on here with a 2/4 drop but this is what I bought with my 2/4 drop and this rides smooth

can't comment on 4" drop, but FWIW I'm on some 2" rear leveling springs and tried the Belltech Street Performance series shocks. Not to 10,000 miles yet but so far definitely not disappointed, I'd do it again.

BigSky is running those 5100’s I believe, with some modifications to the eyelets.
I’m headed that way soon, but will be dropping another 2” all the way around. Currently 2/4 stock shocks.

I'm running 5125s in the back and you're correct, you have to modify the eyelets to get them to work. Valving on the 5125s are a bit different than the 5100s. I'm 6 down in the back and the 5125s are in the middle of their usable range.

I busted a 5125 in the front and had to remove them. Bought qa1s and drove them for about 800 miles before changing them out to bilstein 4600s.

The qa1s were not long enough with being down 4 in the front using the Inez kit. So I went back to a stock replacement.

If the Op is running stock in the front, with a BT 2/4 he should consider qa1s for a suitable replacement. With their adjustment he could dial in how he likes the ride.

I switched mine last week from kyb monomax to doetsch tech nitro slammer. Rides better, little stiffer at times.
