    Welcome to the forum, i think Bilstien 5100’s are the most common. They are fairly low cost, and performs well. This was my 02 with Bilstien’s.

    welcome, depends on how much you want to spend. when I had my 99 I had a Sonoran Steel lift. Liked it very much.

    Custom tuned/valved will be your best bet.

    ADS comes to mind as they do everything in-house and can send you shocks valved to your liking upon ordering.

    Accutune offers the same service but they do so with other brand companies they themselves carry IE Fox, King, Icon, etc.

    Personally, I run King 2.5 front and rear and was not disappointed with how they felt on the worst type of washboards. Always found the right speed to take where I felt like I was "floating" above them.











    Of course, if you want to maximize travel....front and rear shocks aren't the only parts you're replacing -



    Long travel with bypass shocks and air bumps will feel way better though. Guess it all depends on your budget and needs.
