Belltech makes a nitro-sport shock that is supposed to do the same thing
as the IAS shock edelbrock has out, but for lowered trucks. If your truck
is factory hieght, I would recommend Bilstein or Koni..you'll never buy
another shock =)

Hey Jeff, I have the Belltechs on mt Dak with a 2/4" drop. My oppinion
is they ride hard. The only reference I have is based on how the stock
shocks felt. Everyone who has lowered there truck says the ride didn't
change, my did get harder so I'm figuring that it is the shocks. The
guys at Sport Truck Direct say the Doeurch (spellt wrong) are better.
Is your truck lowered? Bob
