New shocks went on tonight. Summit sport truck shocks for the front. And Pro Comp Toxic shocks for the back. The summit sport truck shocks ended up being a doetsch tech nitro drop shock with a generic part number. The quality of these is great, they look very well built, but the bottom bushing was far to big to fit into my shock mount. They required a bit of modification but other than that they went right in.

They came with nice polyurethane bushings

The Pro Comp toxic shocks seem to be lacking in build quality, overall they just dont look as nice as the summit shocks. However, they seem to be pretty stiff and almost stopped my truck from bottoming out on the frame completely (which is a feat in itself seeing as i have maybe 2in of clearance between the frame and axle tubes)

Overall the ride quality has increased ten fold. I can see where some people would think the toxics are to stiff. They do seem to have a high rebound rate, but other than that they seem like a quality shock to me.

I am very pleased with the shocks russ. They dont stop the frame from bottoming out completely (which i didnt really expect them to, just hope haha) But they do make it MUCH more bearable when it does bottom out.

Russ, you can always raise the top mount for the shock to get it back within working range. Be sure to get them as verticle as possible also- the more angle the shock is from vertical, the less damping it can do.
