    Yeaaa only bolt on deaver pack for the min is the f-85 and imo waste of money for a 1.5 lift.

    to the OP what are ur plans with the truck ..... 1800 for the TC kit with shocks is alot to pay for a mall queen. the rear shocks i would leave stock. thats what i did till i upgraded to a rear LT

    True but I was mainly talking valving and spring rates, but if you wanna go big you could get 24 carat gold plating on your shocks...

    if you go offroading a lot go with icons. if not then sway aways are good for occasional offroading. one is more expensive than the other.

    Im going to have to dissagree with this. I have seen many PRO/AMUTURE race trucks/buggys running Sway aways.....i have seen 0 race trucks/buggys with icons (not say there isnt any) sway away is a well known and reptutabile(sp) shock brand. To say that they are good for occasional off roading is not true.

    I have never ran icons or been in a truck with them so i cant say any pros or cons. nor do i know the price for them the only thing i know is they are New in the shock world. I would rather go with a company that has been in the business and has been around for a while.

    EITHER way OP the shocks u pick will be fine im sure for anything you throw at ur truck. limiting factors will be suspension not shocks
