i am hoping to get all this ready and install all at once, but first a few questions.

1. what are the best shocks to use? (with the 7226s springs up front and firestone bags in the back)

2. at what price (for labor) is it worth it to let someone do the front springs, shocks, and allignment? in other words, is it a huge pain?

3. for those of you with ride rite, what have you done for a compressor setup, or anyone with a compressor on board, what do you have and are you happy with it?

thanks in advance, mark

 

1) I've heard good things about Bilstein. That's what I used. Compare prices at Rickson's before buying at Autozone or other places. Rickson's is where I got mine.

2) I had to replace ball joints and control arm bushings so the springs had to come out. I didn't replace the springs on mine but if the truck is on stands and you take the lower control arm loose and let it down w/ a jack, springs aren't a big deal IMHO.

3) Don't have them, can't say.
