 Subject: Toxic Shocks?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2001 R/T ext. cab with a 2/3" DJM drop kit w/ control arms in the front and hangers and blocks in the back and stock shocks. I have very bad tire rub when i go over big bumps (ie. the tire comes up and smacks the underside of the wheel well on the front 2 tires) Will new toxic shocks help the rub problem? If not what will?

Lower-profile tires help as well.

You need GOOD shocks that are valved correctly and have the right length travel for a lowered truck. I have a 99 cc sport with Belltech 2/3 drop and Nitro Active shocks at all 4 corners and sway bars front/rear. The thing turns like crazy, unbelievable that a truck can handle like that. I drive fast and have zero bottoming or rubbing problems. I had Toxic shocks but did not care for their action, they were not stiff enough for me. With the Toxics I did have some bottoming.

JUST SOME FREINDLY ADVISE. 1 DO NOT GET TOXIC CRAPS THEY ARE JUST THAT CRAP. IF YOU WANT SOME GOOD AFORDABLE ADJ SHOCKS GET SOME PRO-SHOCKS STREET STOCK SHOCKS. THEY ARE 3 WAY ADJ AND AROUND $60 A PIECE. GO TO A ROUNDY ROUND SHOP AND ASK FOR 70-70 CHEVELLE SHOCKS. THE REASON IS BECAUSE IF YOUR TRUCK IS NOT LWRD MORE THEN 3 FRONT 5 REAR, THEY ARE A PERFECT FIT. EVEN THE MOUNTING STYLE IS THE SAME AS YOUR TRUCK. I HAD SOME ON MY DAK AND LIKED THEM 100%
