11" G55 front shocks
2011 G55
Riding on 24's / 33's rubbing at full lock and due to the shorter side wall a harsher ride .. Have some G63 front coils coming soon
but looking to add shocks as well what would be the best way to go ? stock G63's units or after market ? any info would be appreciated
thank you

I've had both Fox's (13' G63) and currently have Koni Raids set on Med in the G55 - very happy for the $..... much improved ride quality and handling over the OEM. if you're looking to keep that overall OD of tire you'd do well to consider the JWO 2" springs as a full replacement set..... great ride quality.

The 55 will ride harsh until you swap the front springs out at a min - but likely that also will reduce your rubbing.... you should get 25mm of lift or more with G63 fronts.
Shocks are a larger factor then you realize, until you swap...

What's the offset on the current rim ? that also likely is a factor.... with 325's I ran a 31mm wheel spacer to minimize rubbing on an 18x9 et25
