Front shocks for Rock crawler

I am turning my 82 pick up into a rock crawler. I have installed new 4 inch lift springs on the front and it is so stiff that I do not think I need shocks since it is going to be off road only. Any ideas would be appreciated. I will be installing 63 inch chevy springs in the rear in the up coming week.

Don't install shocks and let us know how that works out for your teeth.

You have to measure for shocks. Extended and compressed then get a shock that covers that range.

stiff springs and rock crawling dont go together at all.

you want semi soft springs wit lots of travel and the right shocks.

no shocks= bounce
