I am running a 3" DR hanger lift on my 05 EX and bilstiens. My current shocks were for a 250 with a 4 to 6" lift. I now know because I noticed how horrible the EX was running so I checked the part #'s. My question is what shocks would you guys recommend for my truck? I think the rear i way to stiff and the front is way to soft. I have a set of u codes for the front and a set of b codes for the rear which I have yet to install. Should I go with bilstiens again (the right part # this time) or Ranch 9000's ? and last but not least what part #'s would be right for my application?
Thanks,
AUG

I've decided that Xochi was in cahoots with the gas stations to rid me of my bank account. I still and love her.
