Default What to buy first works fronts or rear shocks

What should I buy first, front shocks or a rear shock. I got a quote of 300$ for the rear shock dual rate. It was also about the same for the front two. I bottom out all the time with little amounts of air. do ya think i can get away with new fronts and a stock rear???

Please help!!!

later,
skinnyBoi

I bought the rear works shock for my mojave, It made a world of difference in the handling and bottoming out. If you don't have serious problems coming from the front shocks and can't afford to buy both sets now, then I'd I suggests replacing the rear shock first.

Blaster shocks are JUNK. Your best bet is to find out what area you are having the most problems with and fix that first. If your front shocks aren't half as bad as the rear then do the rear one first. I find that the rear shock takes alot more abuse then the front so it might be a good idea to do that one first.
