replacing shocks

I was going to replace my shocks this weekend. Now I'm wondering which brand and model would work best for me?  I spend about 75% on paved, and rest on dry river beds, dirt roads of Arizona.  My brother's and cousin's truck makes some dirt roads feel almost like paved ones. In the D I feel every low and highs.

Defiantly go for the Edelbrock ASI series.

My truck drives like a race car on the roads and holds the off road terrain great.

i just put in Monroe reflex and they made a HUGE difference in handling and body roll, can still feel the road, but not so much that you feel like you getting hit in the face every time you hit a pot hole(yea my stubborn parents let the truck go 72k w/o changing the stock shocks)

+1

If you got a budget for the Edelbrock, I would go with those, otherwise, the Monroe Reflexes are more than enough for every day driving.

Hey Peshmode::

You must have graduated HS in the 80's.  GO MTV!!!!!!!!


Anyway, you also might want to consider the Bilstein shocks. They can be bought on Ebay for around $250 shipped to your door. They have a lifetime warranty. They have quite a firm ride though, so expect a big change from your worn out OEM units.

I did that on my 01 at 60k, and it made a world of difference.

Class of '83 !!!!! 
In the military, that's how I got that nickname.  I was the only one in the unit that listened to the 80's rock.

I was considering the Rancho's RSX, but Edelbroc and bilstiens sounds good.  I'll make the choice between the two.

I have Monroes right now and they wore out after a couple of years.

Thanks to everyone!

There is a big difference between Monroes and performance shocks. Performance shocks are much more stiffer.
These are all good shocks.
