i went with 92 isuzu pup 4x4 front shocks... they werent as short as the 4x2 versions, and they had a little more oompf to them than the 2wd ones, which i bottomed out all the time... the 4x4 ones i bottom out every once in a while and thats cause im really movin and hit a good bump...

how far are your bumpstops trimmed leland?

the one that stops the lower control arm from travelling is the one that i completely removed. not these ones that support the upper control arm... they are still there... are gone...

still rocking factory sized rubber on your rims? the 75 profile ones...? maybe try 50 or 60 series on the stock rims?

i kinda wanted to go with a 185/65/14 but that might be a lil to much
