What Shocks On The Rear Are You Running With Springs?
Let's say Not Off Road but for normal use and maybe light towing or no towing. I received shocks from Strutmasters with my springs that are well know brand but have the Strutmaster label on them. Should I just go with there shocks or is there something better to use. Maybe an Air shock with blow up capabilities with schrader valves in the bumpers? So if I want to raise the ride height For a heavy load or towing.
What use Think..

Thanks Bronxteck,
Air ride is a good company and has been around a long time. I think that would be the best way to go rather than an air Shock Absorber.
After I get the springs installed I'll see what my ride height is.
I do like the RAKE with my now Air Ride system. I hope the springs will give the same height and rake?
Fox fox fox fox fox. I love my foxes. I also have some airlift bags that go in the springs for the rear. Seem to be holding up well a year and a half later. Eliminates the squat when towing and didn't ruin the ride.
EDIT:
I found this on the web. It's probably the same company that makes the for Strutmasters as they are both located in Georgia
FOX .....Powered Vehicles, Off-Road & Industrial Shocks:
- Manufactured in the USA. The main powered vehicle assembly and fabrication campus is located in Gainesville, Georgia.
- Aftermarket truck, industrial, and motorsports shocks are manufactured at their facility in El Cajon, California. That's where strutmasters springs are made also. Strutmasters is out of Georgia.

I also have Fox Shocks on my H2... https://ridefox.com/collections/truck
They have a good selection for the H2 including off-road options.

I would assume they are designed for off road more then street ride comfort. I'm done with off roaring after 10 years of that. The shocks that came with the strutmaster springs are mated I guess for stock street ride. Looks like the Fox are designed for extended travel and load.
