6'' lift shock replacement?

ok so it might be a silly question....

heres the deal i have a trailmaster 6" lift on my pickup and as you proble already know trailmaster shocks and struts suck....lol.... anyhow one of my rear shocks is leaking "oil" so i want to get it replaced.... what would be the best choice for the money on replacements??? i dont even know what to look for....

also i was told by a suspension shop that one of my front struts needs replaced...(secondary strut).... and ive read that tm struts are notorious for blowing out.... so how do i know if mine is blown out... does it have any severe effects on anything.... there is a deep creaking noise comming from my front suspension so im thinking about doing the gabriel inversion....

if anyone cares to take a tad of time to elaborate on any of this it would be much appreciated.....

A great replacement shock for your rear would be the bistein 5100. Those are a great all around shock that rides great and can take the abuse also. See if your front struts are leaking and if your front end is real bouncy might be signs of blown shocks. Don't know about gabriel conversion and can't tell you anything on that. Any more questions just let us know.

 

so the 5100 will work with the 6'' lift?

 

bump!..... anybody else have any suggestions?

 

Billys -- but the length you need... maybe some nice 5150s

 

so i should get the 5150's then???? will they effect my ride height?

ok so i just spoke with a salesman from jackit.com and he recommended the bilstein 5100 for my application.... but everywhere i look online says that its for a 3 to 4 inch lift.... so im confused...lol....

 

nevermind guys i just got off the phone with downsouth...... thanks for the input!

 

I hope the information I gave you was helpful today on the phone...JP

 

hell yeah man.... thanks!

 

so whatcha gettin?

 

5100's.... 10" travel.... lol

 

lol... arlighty then...
