Message:
After my truck has been lifted to 3" (Boby lift), truck wabble and or move side to side when going through speed bump/bumpy road. This I expected because truck now higher.

Can anyone recommend as to what type of shock I should purchase? Changing the old shock with new set of good shock would stablelize the truck much better.

Appreciate any help.

Moe

I just put on a set of Rancho 9000X adjustable shocks (waiting for the remote kit this summer).
My factory shocks were burned out, and the 9000X work really well for me. If you're looking for adjustability, then go with 9000's. Otherwise, the 5000s are good too.

Your truck really shouldn't wabble too much. Make sure all your body bolts are torqued to 55ft-lbs.

Moe, are you looking at bigger tires? I'm running 265/70R-16s now, but am looking at 33x10.50 BFGs.
