Is anyone running BBC Shocks on their truck? (1 Viewer)

Title is pretty much self explanatory. Anyone running BBC Shocks on their truck?
If so how do you like them? Any problems or concerns?

I am trying to decide on the shocks I want to run, and came across these.

Hmm, never heard of them. I have Bilstein 5125s on my truck. I like them and they're reasonably priced, I found them on sale and paid around $75 a pop for them. 14in travel in the front 10 in the back.

I was looking at those too, thing is I need some long travel shocks.
The BBC shocks have 15" of travel and even with that they will limit my rear suspension.
How stiff are the 5125's?

In the front where I have an AAL they work great. The rears I just use a stock 60 pack without an AAL and they're a little too soft. I dont think its the shocks fault, in reality It needs an extra leaf out back, the springs are too soft. I got the firmest valving I could find. One of these days I need to revamp my suspension. Planning to do the same as you did. 63s in the back and rears in the front. But I'm going to try to make mine even lower than it already is.

I am running the BBCS' on my 40 in the rear.

They leak..

 

[StevoJonesFJ60]

I had heard that, I was hoping with the redesign they would have fixed that.

 

[Mace]

Mine are a few years old. No idea if the redesign would fix the leaking issue or not.

Hope so.

 

[StevoJonesFJ60]

Yeah apparently you could send them in if they started leaking on you.

How do you like the valving?

Yeah apparently you could send them in if they started leaking on you.

How do you like the valving?

Yeah, I did that. They still leak.

I like the valving. But I have the cool sprung variant because I have coils on that end

Well its lame they still leak, thanks for all of your input.
If you don't mind me asking what shocks would you recommend?
The other ones I was looking at were the Bilstein 5150's
