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.

No I finaly convinced him to go back to soft 2 inch springs. Also looking at hydraulic bump stops and trying to find best shock preferably rebuild able

You're staying with the 2" leaves and want coilovers or bypasses....
As Mark just said. Get some Bilsteins.

Nathan is doing some crazy speeds to need bypass shocks in his green zook. you are not going to be doing those speeds in a 1.3 sierra trust me.

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
