Planning on a MarkMC 2.5 lift with 4600 Bilstein on the front but wondering what would be better on the rears. Want something that will smooth citywide but hold up if offrosd. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Look over our build. You should read a lot about it. Many use skyjacker, bds, bilstein or avalanche shock.

I went with the BDS shock as it allows for the extra travel. Oem replacements can or will be near over extension with the lift.

I used the Skyjacker rear shocks N8030. I took a chance and got them from there web in the scratch and dent section for much cheaper. They looked and work fine.
