I want to upgrade my RC white tube shocks to a higher quality shock. I was thinking of going with RE. I'm looking at the 15.5-26.5 for my 6.5/7'' lift. Would those suit me or should I go with the RE shock kit that is for 5.5''-7.5'' for $320? It's about $120 more for the kit for 7.5''. Is it worth it?


And are the RE shocks the best choice for the money? A buddy has them and they're really smooth. I have long arms and a full 6.5'' leaf pack on sliders, and am getting a bit of a kick due to the full pack, so I'm hoping new shocks will provide a slightly smoother ride.

 

I'd hit up Frank for some Bilstiens

I was actually going to buy the RE shocks from him, since a buddy did recently and loved it. Although I bought my long arms from him haha.

But should I go with Bilsteins over RE?


I guess for $5 less, I could go with a set of Bilsteins.

Yep, you should.

 

So I'll notice a difference over my RC shocks?

 

Yes, but keep in mind the you are running a Rough County lift, so that's going to affect your overall ride quality.

 

Haha. The coils and shocks are RC, leafs are Rusty's. Pieced the lift together part by part. Not looking for Cadillac quality, but I feel like I should have quality shocks to suit the long arms.

 

You'll notice a pretty significant improvement....and that's a Bilstein owner talkin' at ya, not a vendor.

 

I can also tell you from personal experience that you'll see a pretty noticeable improvement in ride quality going from RC to Bilstein (thank you Frank)

 

Thank you Sir!!

 

I run bilsteins. I like them.

 

Alright, then when I get paid this week, expect a Bilstein order from me, Frank!

 

Good choice

 

Bilsteins have been ordered!
