Default Blew my Rear AEV shocks what do I get?

So Apparently I blew my rear shocks at Uwharrie last weekend... Just add it to the list of broken stuff that weekend.
Anyways now I need new ones. What do you think I should get?

I'm looking at these

TeraFlex Fox Racing Shocks 2.5"- 4" Lift - All 4 - TF-1980200


Or should I just wait a couple months and Just get some King coil-overs?

I can deal the the bouncing for a short while. Its not a DD I only Abuse her on the Weekends.

Are your shocks bottoming out? You might want to check that and make sure you have the correct length bump stops.

I like Rancho's myself. Any of them are high quality, 5000, 7000, or the ones I run the 9000XL. Blistens are good, plenty of people on here run those too.

Our group will be in Uwharrie this weekend.

if given the choice of waiting a few months for King coil overs or semi bouncy ride, I would wait. you might pickup some cheap Rancho 5000X's to hold you over. they do great and are about $45 thru some online venders.

Default Bolt on EVO Coil-overs

So after looking at Evo Coilover kits at $1750 for the fronts and $1750 for the rear. I'm going to pass on getting them and I'm going to go with Fox Shocks with reservoirs and that are adjustable nitrogen ports.

I'm also going to put in some nice Fox Bump stops.... they are $699 for 2...... ouch....

So its looking like $1300 for the Shocks and $1400 for the bump stops.

So wow $2700... I had a lot of fun!!!

*Edit* I found this for $530 it comes with the mounts... looks like a good deal. Anyone have these?

I looked at them they want way too much for them at that price they can Keep them.

I just ordered these Direct from TeraFlex

https://teraflex.com/shop_items/558d...a25c5bb1e1f071

They have Adjusters and I'v had Fox products before they are heady duty.. I'll post the install and review after I put them on.
