    I like the monroe load levelers or rough country's Nitrogen filled shocks

    When I have my 93 xl, I had an ad-a-leaf on it. I used Skyjacker shocks and they rocked!

    What's the price of those 'Lint?

    I know the Load levelers are a little pricey around $100 a pc. As for the Nitro's they're around $40 a pc.

    Oh, and Scott, please make your Sig a little less vague please (I.E.- year, engine, etc.)

    I got them a while back and had a shop install them. I got new leaf packs for both sides, ad-a-leaf, shocks and leaf shackles for about 500.00 installed. If I remember right the shocks were 30-50.00 each with the boots

    Not a bad price at all. I just looked...they're 40-60 bucks on Amazon

    They would be worth it for Scott since he has the rear lift shackles

    Get rid of those blocks ASAP...they create axle wrap and wear out your U-joints/driveline a lot quicker.

    they are stock. i put helper springs on the leafs last night and it helped with the softness a little
