    I use to haul dirt bikes up to the mountains and hills.

    What shocks do you recommend?
    I was leaning towards rancho 9000.
    Maybe 5000?

    I just bought some coil helper springs for the rear of the truck as I had them on my old Dakota and they worked pretty darn good.

    Last year I bought cheap Napa economy shocks and they are terrible even unloaded.

    Looking for recommendations on what shocks you would get if this was your dirt bike hauler or little work truck.

    Thanks TW friends.

    Im not sure one what options there are for 5 luggers sorry. Ive actually heard good things about those napa shocks.

    If the 9000 adjustable shocks are available then that would be a good choice.
