Jeeze....

As Frost suggested for ONROAD driving use front shocks in front and the rear. This will lower the ride height. For onroad driving use a heavy weight oil, with soft springs.

When offroading, use the standard front shocks and the standard rear shocks, usually 30-40 weight oil is a good place to start. I'd run silver in the front and green in the back to start with. ICT likes really stiff suspension for some reason so he uses red in the back, but he's just a basher

Mostly its trial and error, nobody can set up your suspension except yourself, but as for actually shock bodies, the ones frost suggested for onroad driving will work well for onroad, and the standard ones for offroad.

Oh and there isn't a difference in the blue shocks and the grey shocks besides the color. Just make sure you get the hard anodized shocks because they're better.

There is a "HUGE" Difference between the Blue shocks and the Team Shocks!!!!! The blue shocks are NOT hard annodized and will wear quicker and bend easier than the hard annodized grey team shocks. The grey team shocks are made from a stronger aluminum alloy than the blue ready to run shocks. The blue shocks are made from the same soft aluminum as the gold shocks that associated used to include on their budget cars and trucks but they are now annodized blue instead of gold.
