I've run them all, Fox is far superior in ride quality any other areas I'm not aware of, as mine is a pavement queen...
L5P Best Riding Shock
- Thread starter ikeG
- Start date
The guy stopped tonight for me to look at it and they had the 3" 'lift' cranked to max. I lowered the keys almost the entire way for him to try it and he reported back that it's a lot better. I also noticed his 2018 no longer has the steering damper bracket tabs on the frame. I know earlier lml's had them. A quick search brought up a bds kit that includes a bolt on bracket with the damper.

No need for dampner with digital steering. He will need a true lift for it ride good. I did the ready lift stafe 4 on my 15 & 16 with great results. Just make sure you go fox for shocks, my ranchos rode terrible in comparison. Just an FYI...
If you want a good ride you need to address other items than just the keys. I use Suspension Max Cam keys and change the upper a arms. Once that’s done and you will spend around 900 bucks plus labors if you can’t do it yourself it will ride good.

I understand that his kit is just a glorified leveling kit. It is one of those tuff country kits with the upper control arms and replacement shocks. I am just trying to help him out to see if it can be adjusted to ride suitably for him without him just taking it right back off. And after lowering it almost the entire way, he seems satisfied with it.
I was looking for people's experiences with shocks whether or not he kept this leveling kit or not. It's something he can consider to maybe improve the ride even more.

so it has stock shocks or upgraded shocks with the kit? if its stock shocks with extenders that's the biggest issue, I've never seen a stock shock compare to aftermarket. if i'm not mistaken gm uses Rancho on the stock 16-18's but the one they throw on is garbage in comparison to the same brand aftermarket. and yes fox will ride better than rancho but you're paying extra for that and if your customer is already unhappy throwing a lot more money at it will just make him unhappier
also as stated already don't even mes with the stabilizer, they are completely worthless on any GMT-800/900 truck

They ditched the stock ranchos and put tuff country all the way around. No extenders.

Anyone have any reviews or thoughts on the Fabtech 3 inch “lift” kit woth the fort logic shocks with resivoirs??? Was thinking of getting that for my 2016 but don’t want a horrible ride since I daily drive my truck.
All that is is a glorified leveling kit with some fancy shocks. Gonna ride like crap and wear stuff out. If you want a lift to level it for slightly bigger tires go 4 inch and back your torsion bars off to get the desired height. Look at cognito lifts
CV angles get dropped 3/4” in what I’m talking about.

2014 with 89000 miles got in has a 7-9" cognito and has 2 fox shocks with the seals blown. No idea how long they've been on. In my experience, pretty near 50% of the aftermarket shocks i see either have the bushings completely wore out or is leaking oil bad.
