shocks on a stock spring ton? ha what for? they wouldn't do anything. if you want a softer ride and don't ever load the truck, take some springs out and put in a block to correct ride height. then shocks would be helpful. thats what i do to make pickups out of 2.5 ton and larger trucks. then i fab my own axle mounts, or use some that are already on the doner axle.(I don't do stock builds, and originals are geared to high)
