Default Re: shocks???

I have the same problem. I just put on 37" inch Nitto terra grapples and I have some rubbing. So I want to do a leveling kit with new shocks. Which ones do I get?

skyjacker makes shocks too. but rancho has a kit just for leveled hummers. now if your wanting adjustable...i cant help you there. why do you want an adjustable shock on a levelled hummer?

Default Re: shocks???

death, i am leveled, i bought a cheap kit off ebay with new keys and new shock brackets, there have been on over a year and are holding up just fine, if you just want to get rid of the scrub try cranking the t-bars. if that doesnt get rid of it all then go to new keys to gain a little extra height. but mine rides like pure poop now! it is soft. but body roll if crazy in turns!

Default Re: shocks???

sounds like what you need is some sway bars.

Look into the Cognito GM 8-Lug Upper Control Arm Kit (UCAK100001): http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_...roducts_id=324

Couple that with the Bilstein/Cognito Front Shock (BILSTEIN-BE5-E381-T0) and you'll get a nice ride that won't be compromised if you crank the torsion bars a bit.

Default Re: shocks???

i was paying attention to it today... its not as bad as i think, my steering though is wandering and a little hard to control... plan on a pitman idler support, and new tie rods. maybe new torsion bars cause mine a a tad worn out... we will see
