i have had tried these bell tech shocks. first the nitro-actives and they were way too bumpy. now i have regular nitro drop shocks and i still dont like them. the rears i took off about a month ago and noticed one when i pushed down on it it rebounded really fast. the other..really slow. so i dont know whats wrong. what do you guys run if you run shocks?

If you call them up and tell them your setup and what you are looking for they will give you a part number so you can either order from them or a third party like Summit. That's what I did. They were super helpful on the phone. Their number is 1-800-8-SHOCKS.
word!...

or give Sport Truck Direct a call, they carry Doetsch Techs.....if u do call there ask to speak with Cole...he knows his shit and can help ya out

I have Nitro's at all four corners. Never had an issue with them. My truck rides better than it did stock even with a 6/7 Drop.

I can testify to that! I did exactly that, told him how my suspension was modified, he pulled up the part numbers, and placed the order for me in under 10 minutes.

im lookin into shocks myself and dont really know which too go with. I was considering the belltech nitros. i have got a 3/4, when i add the lowerin shocks is it gonna make it sit a little lower, or will it even change the height?

it wont change that height at all, all it is, is a damper for the suspension. everyone seems to like the dt's, ive got kyb's myself.
