Fox if you feel like spending that much. Or Bilstein.

Yep, I've got them in the front. I'm thinking about doing the flex mod for the rear and going with the Bilsteins as well. Sometimes, just for a comparison, I'll hit a speedbump in a parking lot at about 20 MPH. The front is so smooth, but the back with the OEM shocks slams down hard.

Anyone try the air rides from Arnott? Looks like a cool product if the ride is good.

Shocks will allow your vehicle to be lifted with a t-bar crank. They do not "lift" the vehicle on their own, but they are a needed component for a proper t-bar lift.
