It all started in 2021 with Ebay lowering shocks. DO NOT recommend. Shocks went bouncy in about half a year or so. (No pics of them on vehicle).
Late 2021, X2 shocks installed. Also, do not recommend for the price.
X2 shock on left. Ebay shock on right. Notice the Ebay shock lower mount spacer/bushing all cracked within a year of driving.

The rears:
Ebay shock left. X2 on the right. (Boy that bushing looks small...)

Then went back to stock shocks for a little bit

Before running the best setup to date:
Front: Belltech shocks with no spacer rings installed. Also, installed Hellwig front swaybar.
Side note, I did use F-150 front shock assembly when I went back to stock. So, its F150 spring on the belltech shock now.

Still searching for a way to get the rear lower. Might cut 1 coil.
No rubbing anywhere. Handles amazing for a big brick.
