I ran Toxic Shocks on my '83 Toyota which was lowered about 4" front and 5"
rear. They were fairly inexpensive compared to Bilsteins but a little more
than standard Monroe's. The problem with running a stock length shock on a
lowered vehicle is the possibility you can bottom out the shock on a hard
compression. If this happen, and you damage the shock, it's toast and you're
back to asking the list about which shock to buy next :)

Ok, I know we've discussed shocks like a bazillion times now, but I can't
remember if we ever discussed drop shocks. I need to replace my shocks and
don't have the money to spend on the super-expensive Hotchkis Bilsteins
(about $95 each) that go with my drop kit. I was thinking of getting either
some of the Doesch Tech shocks or some generic Monroes for a stock height
truck and just compressing them excessively. What do you all think? Anyone
have any experiences that they'd like to share??? Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!!! Thanks!!
