Yes, I did and I do not recommend them. They made the ride remind me of a mid 80's Caddy where it just floats along over everything. It was a very bouncy ride.

I have a set of gas shocks up front on my 2wd and it gives a great ride and helps the body roll In the corners.

What gas shocks did you use kidhauler?

I put 5000's on my van when i did the lift just to get started but am thinking that 9000's are in my future. A few guys have run them around here and have liked the adjustability
