Guys I need some help. I'm looking to purchase the shocks for my truck very soon. Here are the details. Plese let me know if you know part numbers that you use or may work in these scenarios. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if you know of good companies to order from lmk.

Front- RE-6's, pie cut upper, notched lower, flipped bjs

Back- RE-7's on lower bars, shocks would need to mount between the shock cross member at the top of the notches and under axle brackets. I have 8 inch notch.

Like I said any advice is greatly appreciated, this thing is getting very close to being streetable.

I never ran shocks up front, but out back DEFINATELY... hell, even BLOWN shocks help out the back over none. I ran shocks in the front for 2 weeks. On large dips, it helped, because the air would be 'floaty' kinda bounce. BUT, on sharp bumps, and holes, it was way rougher. Maybe it was because I used Monroe S10 front shocks, instead of dropped shocks, but it wasnt worth it, so I took em off.

Bilstein is making shocks now for bagged trucks. Might want to look into those.

How bad is it not to run shocks in the front???? Sounds like an easy way out to me. But I don't want to do that if it is bad. How many of you guys run no shocks up front???

Also can anyone post pics of front shocks with bags???

I didn't have shocks up front for the longest time....then when I went to Texas and cruised in Maztang's 83 I loved the way it felt...

Needless to say I know have shocks on the front...
