Re: Best shocks for towing?

When I did the math it was essentially skid plates, overrated shocks, a electric locking rear diff, different tires and wheels and the low ratio rear gears. The only significant change from a Titan with Big tow was the e locker which was no big loss as it only came into play if using 4wd low.
Wow, I agree with you Smoke.. It was part of packages on my truck, but I could have done without it.. In fact my 04 was just an SE 4x4 with Pop package and nothing else..



Yes the hitch was WAY out of adjustment.. But that truck did great without bags, overload spring and with black stock shocks..
