    Belltech drop shocks question.

    I need drop shocks for the rear of my truck. Its lowered 2/4 and rides like crap. A friend told me belltech street and performance were good. I looked at several websites and there are 4 different part numbers. Which one do I need? Its a 2000 Chevy RCSB with a 2/4 drop. Are the belltechs the softest drop shocks? And finally do I need shock relocators?

    Don't think shock relocators are required.
    The belltech street performance are the ones you want, the nitro drop 2 aren't quite as good and I've heard of a few problems with them.

    I went with monroe light truck shocks on my 4.5/6 dropped silverado and the back end rides fantastic with them and together were only about 50 bucks...

    Actually the shock extenders do help because they put the shocks at the proper angle

    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    I was looking at the monroe's too. Maybe I'll try them first. I have three trucks that need them so a little experimenting is in order.

    Yea the monroes have the rear of my truck riding better than the rear end did stock, so theyre definitely an option. I've known a few trucks lowered 7 or so in the back on monroes

    Don't mean to thread jack, but what are you running in the front? My nitro actives are blown up lol.

    Stock shocks

    Theyre blown out... doesn't bother me too bad. I was thinking about going with monroes on the front but thats another 50 dollars for when I have it. Note how I said the back rides better than ever loool
    I have monroe parts numbers for front and rear.

    ^^^^^^^Do you mind posting up those part numbers for me? Do you just get what the part store says should be on there or can you get em in shorter lengths?

    Well theyre meant for light trucks... I think theyre meant to be a replacement for older nissan frontiers or something along those lines, so they should work well with any drop of 4 or more inches in the rear. Not sure what all drops they will fit though, as personally Im not a suspension guru

    Here are the p/n
    front shocks- monroe sensa tracs part # 37072
    rear shocks- monroe sensa tracs part # 37078


    should be about 26-30 dollars on amazon/ other places if you shop around

    Sensa tracs are soft. I was lookin into Monroe Reflex Monotubes. Does anyone have any experience with these? They would save me a couple bucks over the Bilstein HD's but maybe It's not worth it..?
