So Im looking for some suggestions on a new shock set up. Ive got the Fabtech 4.5" lift with the dual shocks in the front. It is awesome in when you hit anything at speed, but it's "tank-like" when driving on the street. When I bought it, the dealer put Pro-comp es9000's on it, and I'm pretty sure that with four of these up front, is the reason it is so stiff. Any suggestions on what shock would be a good dual set up , without breaking the bank?

Doubt your going to find a shock that is nice at faster speeds but suck on the slow speed stuff thats off the shelf and cheap.. You could try some 5100's not sure about a dual setup though.
I would suggest Carli's new 5160's or back country shocks. but I'm not sure what the shock length is your currently using.

Switch to a single quality shock to help with the street ride. The stiff single rate Fabtech coils will only do so good regardless of shock setup though.
Thanks for the advice folks...Im gonna go with the bilstein 5100 and switch to a single front.
Good plan. Definitely forego the dual stup. May try Carlis 5160 version. For the ultimate in ride, get a set of customs, maybe some 7100s and the difference will be amazing.
