ok so i need some advice on shocks. i just picked up a set of 2" mccaughy spindles that i'll be installing soon. shut up travieso! so i figure since my truck has just a hair under 300K miles i would change the shocks, yes they are stock. right now all i did was turn my keys down and cut off the bump stop, bracket cup and all. but thats another issue in and of itself.

so what are some good shocks that work well with a 2" drop that are reasonable? i might be bagging the front soon and wont be able to use the same shock so i dont want to spend $500 on a set.

also what would you guys recommend i do to add a bump stop? if i bag it, it wont matter much as it would need to be cut to get it as low as i want it. so maybe a simple temporary solution?

I have a front set of belltech street performance shocks for $80 shipped. They were on my truck for 3 months. I took them off when I put the djm arms on the front and the shock wouldn't bolt up. I loved the way they rode and wouldn't have taken them off if I didn't have to. I bought them from Tony so I am sure you could get the rear from him if you decided to go this route.
