    Ok so I have a 6" Pro comp lift and need to replace my rear shocks. Should I get the normal Pro comp shocks or Blistein shocks? So far I have been unable to order Blistein shocks for my 6" lift in my small town. I have heard people bad mouth Pro comp shocks so I'm unsure on what to do. I already have Blistein shocks on all for now from the previous owner. What do you guys recommend? Input please.

    Go with Fox Racing, King or Icon. Call them and they can help with fitment. I am sure someone on here will chime in on the travel length you need. I am not that familiar with this.

    I heard that Blistein shocks were supposed to be durable though.

    The foxes/icon/kings are nice because there rebuildable. Bilsteins are nice if your on a budget. But if you wana spend the money right I'd say get the icons with CDC so you can control how stiff it is.

    I had pro comp shocks on my last truck. Switched to Bilsteins 7100 shocks works night and day difference. Also heard the 5165 series is a good shock. Bilstein has a new website called Bilsteinoffroad.com. I ordered online and was able to call to get great tech service too. Check out this website.
