    Like the title says, what kind of shocks can I use instead of the regular shocks that come with the Fabtech 6" lift? I need new shocks and would like to upgrade from the regular ones

    The front isnt a standard shock, so your only upgrade option is the Dirt Logic coilover up front and the Dirt Logic reservoir out back. About a $1500 upgrade for all four
