hey guys! i have a 99 safari lowered with bellteck spindles and rear flip kit. I also installed waht i thought were a brand new set of 4 bilstein heavy duty shocks. anyways, htrears are now banging over every little bump on the road!! do i need lowering shcks to go with the flip kit or can i buy the same ones?

i used to on a custome shop we only used toxic shocks on lowered cars and trucks that would be my sugestion

Edelbrock IAS!!! They may cost more but boy are they worth the ride comfort, handling and control!!!

I had installed Doestch-Tech shocks on all four corners when I lowered my van about 3 years ago, handles great and rides well.
They had/have a lifetime warranty on them, don't know if that's still available.
Also very reasonably priced at about 40-50 each, available from there web site.

If cost is an issue, go to the wrecker and pull the front shocks from a '96 up 4x4 Blazer.
You have to drill a new mounting hole about 2 inches back on the RR, but other than that they fit and work great!

i had toxic shocks on my 90 for 10 yrs and no problems. i even kept the rear ones on my 2-link bag setup and the the ride is great.

I need shocks for my rear that was lowered as well, I was just wondering gtkane, why you have to move the mount hole on the right and not the left, thanks

The right and left shocks are not mounted evenly, with the right one being farther away.(factory wisdom I guess)

Well, you know, they tried to control pinion angle deflection. Its funny how you go thru the rear shocks quicker with that setup. Nothing a set of traction bars wouldn't cure.
