I went with 422 shocks in the rear and now thinking of doing the ft too. Not sure if the drop in are the right ones or not. They look good and for just a little work, big results

The ride is great. I like it much more than stock even though it rides a little rougher. With it lowered I sit more "in" my Duece than before. Very stable at high speeds and not a great difference at low speeds.

Joe,

I am getting ready to drop my 05. I went with the 422 out back and the race tech with the emulators up front. I did quite a bit of reseach and I think for the price its the way to go. The race tech is a hi-po setup but the manufacturer said the ride was excellent. I was told by several shops that the progressive drop ins were not the good but they may be saying that because its good buisness for them to install. I would be interested in hearing what other people have experience with them. anyway the 422 were less than 400 and the race techs came in at 212.

Jim

AIR RIDE... HI LO $800 bucks. Total $1000 to get the stuff and put it on. Worth every penny ecspecially if you are already gonna spend $400 to $500 on some rear shocks then the front to.
