i always ran rear shocks. up front on my s10 i had no shocks and the ride was great. no won my yota i did the same i put shocks on the rear and not the front and it rides great to. so i figure...if it aint broke dont fix it. imo

first of all, slam bags are not magic, they are not special, and they for sure are not better than any other bag,

yes they are.. they are far superior then other bags. they are thicker, stiffer, billet end plates.. do i need to go on?

it doesn't make a shit what brand bags you have, if you don't run shocks you won't pass inspection in some states

on my Mazda with 2500lb Coni's the only problem i have not running shocks is riding real low and hitting a bump and smacking the shit out of my crossmember. Other than that it's fine.

^HAHAHA gotta love that pic of the "sweet Spot"

Thanks for all of the info you guys have given me. I think I will run it with out shocks at first, then if I dont like it I will throw on the SD kit! And if that kit turns out to suck ass I will hit up Piston!

run shocks. so big deal you lose a little turning radius your not doing figure 8's or a salom coruse.running front shocks will help the front end from all types of greif.
