What kind Of shocks?

[Symba_The_Lyon]

I am looking for some good rear shocks that does not cost a pretty penny,

 

[SunlitComet]

monroes are decent for a low cost.

Lifted? I am getting these for mine.. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...=Search_C0077_1353721_1468&pt=C0077&ppt=C0035

I had them on my '96 Exploder. Not a bad ride (not overly stiff) got rid of annoying rear end sag, Ride was greatly improved.. Run $100 for the set. Mine is stock so no lift on it.

 

[Symba_The_Lyon]

+1 for challenging bad roads

maybe edelbrocks performer ias if you can still find them or equivalent type from other maker. the dampening is dependent on road roughness.

Heard less than stellar things about Edelbroxk

From my CB Radio.

For the first time ever i have to disagree here , I had a set of monroes and thought they were terrible Yes the price you can't beat but the Quality didn't last 4 months before I had to swap them out again

 

[SunlitComet]

well that was a general recommendation. they does have different types of shocks for different needs. maybe the type you got just did not wok out it happens.

No complaints from me and so far from others i have heard install them in the last year. unfortunately they left the suspension and exhaust business. the prices on those things were kinda high and did not sale well as a result. but for whatever reason they would not lower their prices and just closed down those sections cause of weak sales.
