Looking for shocks

I'm picking up a used pro-comp 5" lift pretty much free. I need some shocks I can use for fast gravel roads, but still ride smooth in town. Truck usally packs 700-1400lbs daily. I was thinking bilsteins, but I dont know if I should get one with resi's or just the reg 5100. The front end of the truck has been know to come off the ground a lil bit(2-4ft) so I need something to soak up that to.

if you really want a great ride and want to spend the money contact Don at www.thurenfabrication.com and have him costom valve some King's. it isn't cheap but that is the ultimate setup. I have the 5100's on my truck and I think the ride is still stiff. but like they say great shocks can't perform to their full potential with stiff springs.

Good luck

youll need some of thuren's shock towers but www.F-O-A.com shocks are priced right and if you call them you can get any valving you want. they are a new start up based in vegas and been following there start on race-dezert and pirate4x4 and from things ive heard they are a really nice shock for howmuch they cost.
