    I'd like to throw a new set of shocks on, but I don't know whats worth putting on. I realize it will never ride like a cadillac, but would rather not go too cheap.

    I run rsx 9000s on the front and skyjacker nitros out back on my IFS truck.

    What's recommended?

    If you want the best ride, go to an auto parts store and get cheap hydraulic shocks. They won't be overly stiff. But of course if your springs are stiff, nothing will make your ride soft.

    I'd run the same one's you have on your truck, they're some of the best available. I have Bilsteins on mine. They ride firm, but not harsh. I would definitely recommend them.

    I haven't been to my FLAPS yet, usually a waste of time, but I've wandered around a bit online and don't see much for pure hyd shocks...any tips anyone? Thanks
