Shocks are like condoms, you have to try different brands until you find one that feels just right.

 

[tntaco]

haha very true but they are a little more pricey than condoms too.

Its all preference man. Most people don't like the same shock everyone pretty much likes a different ride and feel. I still have the trailmaster shocks on the rear of my truck I believe they are ssv's not for sure. I like them and I like skyjacker shocks had some on my 86 yota 4x4. I have procomp struts on the front of my tacoma they seem to be ok not sure couldn't till a difference over the stock one's really. With 11.5" of lift or better I don't have a smooth ride no matter what shocks I use.

Some how I don't think ribbed shocks are that popular.

 

[Live4yotas]

Mine are ribbed one to many leaf springs tags.

they're only ribbed if you keep the boots on them
but they do come in lots of festive colors now...I wouldn't know about flavors...

Well....more infor might help. what are you looking to do with your truck? what type of wheeling? doing any hauling/towing? how much lift and what type? etc.

 

[tntaco]

ok well do ya'll know of a website that i can order brand name shocks like rancho or procomp for a 3in lift?

NOT TRUE!! A busted shock will cost you $30-120. A busted condom costs you for 18 years!!!

Bilsteins baby. Im running 5150's 12inch travel on a shock relo with 6 1/2" lift in the rear running ARB.

 

[97TacoDude]

I put Bilstein's on my '97 and I honestly didn't feel *that* much difference over the Stockicos. Mayb if I did springs too it would have been better.
