    Hey what's up everyone i just started on here and i wanted to pick everyone's mind as to what shocks i should run with my 3" lift. The front i went with a 3" hellbent steel spacer and the rear i have a 1" AAL. So i just wanted to see what shocks i should go with all around.

    Thanks,

    you're going to hate the spacer real quick even with just daily driving. i had spacers on for a month and hated it so much that i bought bilstein 5100's with ome 885 coils. much better.

    That is prob. true idk the hellbent steel spacer doesn't really affect the ride to much for me. But i just wanted longer shocks so they don't bottom out wen going over bumps or over extend. But 5100's is what you are running?

    You want longer shocks so they bottom out on the shock instead of the bump? I dont get it.

    I think you did not picture in your head what is happening with the suspension before deciding what you think you want.
