I've got 2" lift springs and bj spacers in the front, and I'm running stock NAPA shocks...not sure of the brand name. If I could put anything I want on there...Bilsteins, but stills stock hieght, I think...anybody else?

Bilsteins are great but they're not cheap. I've heard good things about Pro Comp ES3000...good ride and fairly inexpensive. I'm running RMX Extreme nitrogen monotubes and I love them but I think only Les Schwab's carries them. If you have a Les Schwab's nearby, check them out.

As of last week, I have ES3000s in the rear, along with a ZUK mod. Ride is better, but don't expect miracles. It's not harsh, but it's still a truck and rides like one.

I think we 2nd gen dudes ride softer with coils in the rear. Mine rides really nicely with pretty stiff KYB Gas-a-just shocks, but then again I have no swaybars either.

I've run es3000's on a 90 single cab with 31's and on my 95 4r. They were a little stiff on the pu but thing drove like it was glued to the road. They were a little soft on the 4r but a very comfortable ride.(mostly didn't control lean as much as I had hopped, ) lasted for years and never went bad. That was probably the best budget item I ever installed. ( I had moog progressive rate coils, they bring you back to stock height )
