Shocks...what do you use?

[BlueBreadTruck]

While working on my brakes, I noticed one of my stock's eye end's was completely rusted off and not connected!!

So, I need a new set....what brand do you guys like?

I eventually want to do the sky shackle flip kit on this, so I was debating buying longer shocks for now (+4")...can I run those at my stock height for now?

I just bought whatever shocks were cheapest on rockauto.com. I think I only paid about $20 a shock for some Monroes on closeout. Much better than the rusty junk ones that were on there.

My dad's crew has Monroe(?) Reflex shocks, it rides quite nice.

I dont run cheap shocks i have all billstien shocks they are about 130$ each

Ive had real good luck with bilstien shocks not cheap but neither is the quality.

I know the Bilstien guys are gonna beat me up, but I've got adjustable Ranchos and like them. Set soft when empty, and stiff when the 5r is hooked up.

i have KYB gas-a-just for the rears thanks to a few salvaged trucks.
the fronts are Monroe Gas Magnums. I like the soft ride of my '92 after getting beat to death by my f450's

Thanks for the help.

Will I be OK for a while running +4" shocks untill I lift my truck? Thanks

Can't beat Bilsteins. Ride decent empty and still have nice tight control with the 5er hooked up diving through the mountains.

You will have to take measurements of your truck vs the shocks you want to use. Compare the fully collapsed length of the shocks you want to the length at current ride height to see if there would be any room for travel. I think a shock long enough for a 4" lift might bottom out and get damaged on a stock height truck.
