Drop Shocks

Postby LethalEthan » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:03 pm

who has them and what brand? How stiff are they? I know most people complain that toxic shocks are too stiff and thats what I want but I can only find toxic shocks for the back of my truck. So i'm looking for a good, stiff, mildly priced drop shock. Any suggestions?

Will 1st gen s-10 shocks fit? They fit the d-50s and most other mini trucks- if they do , then you got a wide choice. Or get the Tokico trailmaster shocks- they have a bumper inside the shock to prevent damage if you bottom out. If the shocks bolt across the lower control arm hole, use longer bolts and spacers to place the lower end of the shock lower, increasing the travel length and preventing the shock from bottoming out.

my dads got an s-10 parts truck I was looking at and the shocks do look like they would work on a ram50.

The only difference I noticed between my isuzu and mightymax shocks when I had both trucks infront of me was the eyelet holes on the isuzu shocks were way bigger.

I might be going to my dads today, I'll take a closer look at them and see if they're the same.

If thats the case then change the shock eyelet bushings to match the isuzu. You can even get them in poly; or drill or ream the new shock bushings to fit.
