Shock question

[BamaPaul]

I finally found some 5"OME competition springs that help clear the 37's much easier than my 2.5" lift did. Now I need shocks. I was liking at the pro comp 929510 with 12.68" of travel overall for the front and the rear and making an adapter for the eye up front.

I also thought about getting the f250 rear shocks (which the above pro comps are supposed to be a direct bolt in for) and getting the increased performance Monroe's which are about half the price of the pro comps. Any thoughts on cheap socks and how they hold up. I know may ran pro comps on gold digger and Eric ran the bottom basement f250 shocks on Lorena.

BTW the springs are the 420 and 423 OME springs and I'll have a set of very well loved OME 2.5" springs for sale if anyone wants them. They cleared 37's and would wheel great with 35's.

People complain about the pro-comps but I liked them, especially off road. The 929510 is what I ran in the back, I think they will work for you front and rear with the taller lift(you are 1" taller than gold digger). The 927530's I had in the front were a little short and the 929510's may have been a little long for me.

You will need bumpstop extensions if you don't have them already.

Thanks Matt. Those were stud to stud and stud to eye too, so you didn't have to make adapters. I don't figure adapters will be too hard though just some 2" box with one wall cut off and a few holes drilled.
