    I'm due for shocks. What are you guys running? I'm only lifted an inch, 4 wheel drive. Don't want to spend a lot but don't wanna go cheap and have them suck. I'll spend some money if I have to.

    Was looking at Bilstein 5100s but as far as I can tell they don't make them to fit the front, only rear. Looks like Fox 2.0s are available for the front, but I don't want to spend that much.

    Truthfully, I don't even want to spend Bilstein money, but like I said, I don't want junk either.

    My buddy got some rancho 500s I think they're called on his 2002 FX4 and he loves them.

    I got procomp es9000s and im not all that impressed. Guy at work has rancho rs9000 adjustable shocks on his excursion and he loves them.

    Ordered 4600 fronts and 5100 rears yesterday. Should be here middle of next week, hopefully. Didn't want to spend the money but every time I go cheap on something I end up regretting it.
