Need shock recommendations
« on: September 27, 2011, 05:41:27 pm »
85 K10 - daily driver.

Not looking for anything for crazy off roading, but something that can handle a little off road (think farm/field use).  Typically though, she will be on the roads.  Not looking at sinking too much in, but would like to spend 250-300.

     X2 on what beastie said, for the money you can not beat those 2 shock manufactures, as you said you are not going crazy with the truck.

Stock height and no on the quad front shocks.

Guys at work have said I should go with Rancho shocks as well.

My $0.02, standard Monroe or Gabriel would do fine for you with a stock suspension.
