Rear shock for MM

Post by boise-nic »

It looks like both my shocks are dead. Not being too familiar with truck suspension, does it matter much if I just replace them with some cheap shocks at autozone or should I order something better. Truck is a daily driver, stock rearend with LSD and traction bars. Any recommendations?

I'm thinking maybe basic cheap shocks are the way to go. Unless KYB's aren't too pricey. I just remind myself that the truck has the same basic suspension as a buggy. Would KYB's help at all? I had AGX's on my talon and I liked the adjustability but I don't think it would really accomplish much on a truck. I may be wrong.

I have beltechs on my max but its slammed and the came with my kit. I haven't driven on them yet though. But I'm a KYB fan. Every product I have used always performed great and took alot of abuse
