Default What Shocks Should I get?

Have a 2.5" Teraflex spacer lift. My stock shocks are cracking and rusting. What shocks would you reccomend?

Depends on how much money you have. I would run either fox or Bilstein. Bilsteins should be cheaper than fox last time I checked.

I had the 9550's and just installed a set of Fox 2.0 Performance. There is a noticeable difference on the road. Have not gotten the chance to go off road yet. Plus, they look sweet.

X2.... For the price, you can't beat the overall performance of the TF 9550's... IF I choose to go another route, it will be bilsteins or fox... My TF's performed EXTREMELY well on some tough trails, I.E. Rock gardens and stumpy hill climbs at rausch creek... I was truly impressed with them...

I think I'm going with the Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks. I've heard great things about them! Any thoughts?
