Being a budget wheeler, I have had good luck with doetsch. I have been told it is important match your shocks to your spring rates. I tend to carry a heavy load having five people and camping gear often. So i went with stiffer spring rates. I also found the stiffest doetsch shocks to match. It is a good combo. Ive also just recently noticed a huge increase in ride quality for the rearend. I upgraded from shackle relocators, with huge shackles, and flatter springs. To iro 3.5" springs with 1 extra leaf, no lift relocators, and boostwerks comp shackles. Same shocks though. The rear end seems much softer and planted.
I also dont have sway bars so the stiffer springs and shocks make it nice handling wise when unloaded for dd duties.
In the future ill probably upgrade but for now these work well for me. Not everyone sets there rig up heavy though. Im also not racing through the dessert. Usually slow rubicon style wheeling or freeway use. There are much better shocks for more money but these work for me.
doetsch makes many different firmness shocks. Im sure they can fit most rigs that are budget driven.
