Best shock absorber is?
Coil over shocks from radflo or
2.5 bypass shocks from profender

Those bypass shocks look mean but I see comments about coil over shocks on the post

For what application, your mates sierra?
Coilovers and air shocks will be a total waste. They may offer a level of tenability to suit, but it's a completely impractical and excessive solution.

Grab some bilstein B6's that suit your required compressed and extended length and call it a day. Although shocks alone won't fix all the issues you seem to have.

You're staying with the 2" leaves and want coilovers or bypasses....


As Mark just said. Get some Bilsteins.

I was not thinking to match the speed I was more thinking something that can handle serious abuse.

waste of time, just buy cheap shocks and throw them away when they are rooted
