Shock Preferences-Mild Lift - OBS 4x4 Suburban

What shocks would you recommend for a '90 4x4 Burb with a 2"-3" lift?

They'll need to be on the soft-ride side of things...I already own enough cars that my wife won't ride in.....

Rancho has some good stuff, but I am not a big 4x4 guy. Maybe someone will post on what they use..

I use the Rancho RS5000's..
Four in the front and two in the rear...for a softer ride i would use a single rancho on each side in the front.

I just read that Edelbrock is liquidating shocks. Check out their website or go to CK5.com and look it up in the "Garage"
