Default shocks...

hey i got the 2.5" tera bb with shock adapters. now i want to get atleast the front shocks replaced along with a new steering stabilizer.

i wanna eventually run fox adj front and rear but funds are lacking at the moment so tomorrow when i order my bumper im looking to get some shocks aswell to not have to combine shipping.


was in the quadratec mag looking all day and figure these are my 3 options

-Black Diamond A/T front rear and steering stabilizer
-TeraFlex 9550 front rear with a teraflex steering stabilizer

or Fox Racing Mono Tube Reservoir with Dampener Adjustment fronts only with the fox steering stabilizer.

question though if i go with fox will there be any problem running a few months with my stock-x shocks with adapters in the rear cause cant afford the rears this time around

thanks

If you can only afford two , just get two, it's gonna ride better, get the frts first.
