Title: Suggest new shocks
Post by: AmericaMade on February 05, 2018, 06:45:24 PM

I have an 83’ C10.
Im looking to replace the rear shocks for now and front soon. My truck is stock height not lowered at all.
Can anyone suggest some good shocks?
Are air shocks worth it as in will it add anything to the ride as oppsed to regular shocks?
I was looking at these:

Gabriel Ultra was an excellent choice for my truck

We've had good results with KYB gas-a-just, Bilstein, and Skyjacker.

I saw those Gabriel shocks just not a fan of the White.
Im leaning towards these presently. http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A5842A0A0.aspx

Or these:
