shocks! SAS'd trucks, what type of valving?
I really want some coilovers but money and other variables are holding me back from that setup. Basically not sure what I want yet.
I was looking at some Bilstein 5150s for the front, would the light valving be what I would want?
Any other shock brands to go with? I have some cheap 30$ procomp 9000s and I want something better, goal is to control the suspension better or best I can. I know the procomps are not right for the application.

I'd look into the Procomp MX6's or MX6R's, they are nice shocks and adjustable too so you can adjust them to how you like just by turning a little **** between the settings. You can leave them soft for DD and then if you are towing make them a little firmer so you don't get bounced around like crazy.

your reasoning on those? They seem like nice shocks, built in bumps etc.
Their valving is for "leaf springs" or "coil springs" I am not sure how I would know what that valving really is?
I think I am going to get some bump stops too. Hopefully this will help on some of the things I need to finish up.

I suppose IF i get new springs I might as well save a bit more and get some coil overs. LOL

I want to do some pricing but I may wait another month and go coilover and be done with it.

I am going to see about just going coilover. I priced it once but I didnt know what I was doing, I know more now.

If you go with shocks instead of coilovers this is the bilstein valving chart.
Same price as 5150s too. Longest is 12" travel with 32" extended length I think though.
