Alright so my 98 1 ton with the box and my tools weigh in around 10-11 and sometimes i pull equipment weighing in just under 10 so I ask you fine folks what are your suggestions on shocks for my truck and no I don't want to install airbags

 

I used some top of the line Monroes and had to replace 2 of them. I tried Bilstiens and they sucked.

 

Is it a HD version with straight frt axle or standard independent frt axle?

Is that for straight axle or independent?

 

Thought I deleted that-need to know frt axle design since frt shocks are different for each.

 

it is an independent. so you think the ac delco ones are the best? i would like heavy duty ones though

 

thats a bummer i was really leaning twards the billstein B6 heavy dutys...

 

But which axle design are those shocks for?

 

so what did we come up with?

 

Search the part numbers at Rock auto and Amazon there should be application information there. Be sure to check the shipped price. There is often free shipping from either place.

If you find more info on better shock recommendations please post back
