Lift shocks

JPs65 galaxie · #1 09-04-2014, 08:55 PM

I'm looking for 4in lift shocks front and back. Can't find any on the internet. I cranked up the torsion bars all the way and a 4in block in the rear. Right now it rides like a brick haha. Thanks in advance. (2001 4X4)

Okay. I got ranchos. 1.5"-2" or something extended.

I found Bilstein 5100 rear shocks for what I need thanks. But I can't find any front shocks for a 4X4

Ranchos website. Navigate through their shock selection. They have extended for front. I have a pair. I can look up the # if you need

It rides like a brick because you cranked the torsion bars. New shocks might help a little but not much

Gotta disagree with you, havnt helped that much on any of my trucks. Now if you want to talk about doing some nice fox or king coilovers you would be correct.

Okay. Ranchos up front after my torsion crank helped a decent bit. Have you done coilovers up front on any of your trucks?

Made a switch, no. My current truck came with them stock and its so much nicer. This is after having 3 torsion bar vehicles

I have & they are kickass.

Torsion bar suspension is made by the devil himself. Best day was when I tossed those crap torsion bars in the trash.

No way around it - the higher you crank - the stiffer it is. Nothing is 'free' on these baby trucks.

Does it have fox or king? I'm considering doing it to my truck next year. Around 1200 from what I can tell
