    6 inch suspension lift, rhino lined underbody and fender flares. Charcoal grey paint.
    Hello all, long time lurker but I could use some help from people more technical then myself. I bought my truck with a pro comp 6” suspension lift already installed. During my last service at the dealership they said one of my rear shocks was leaking. So I am planning on replacing all the shocks as I have recently hit 100k miles and feel like that would be a good idea. I roll on 325/60r/20s and have coilover shocks on the front. I have been talking to the gents at 4wheelparts but they are kind of honed in on the fact that I’m not very knowledgable and I feel like possibly taking advantage of that... I guess I am looking for advice on what shocks would be best for my truck? It’s mostly just a daily driver but I do like to head off-road when I get the urge to sling some mud. Any help/suggestions/ advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking for best ride/performance for what I use it for and something reliable, not just the cheapest. Appreciate any thoughts.

    Talk to procomp since at least your front shock are procomp. They might be under warranty or rebuildable.

    As for other brands for new shocks you have King/ADS/Fox/Icon. Give reputable dealer a call of one of these brands so they can provide you info on a shock that will work with your lift. These brand of shocks can be rebuilt.

    I like Icon. Had them on the old truck. Have Bilsteins now to save money initially. I think 4wheelparts owns pro comp or other way around so if they push pro comp thats probably why. Pro comp is good too though.
