What shocks to buy?

Postby PToombs » Wed May 21, 2008 5:51 pm

Hi guys, need opinions on what brand shocks to buy. I'm leaning towards Bilsteins.
92 D350, front shocks.
Thanks for the input! :D

Bill Stein? Are you trying to call me a Jew? :lol: :lol:

I have no idea, all I've ever run were Monroe Sensatracs. That is maybe for two trucks in the past that I bought shocks for. Usually whatever is there when I buy the truck, stays there ;) .

Bilsteins are hard to beat. As are Ranchos. I have seen both take some pretty brutal poundings off-road and hold up well.
