for what its worth

I have been running gabriel LTV shocks for several years, in fact, since the stock junk wore out. They are fully hydraulic shocks, so a little "stiffer" than a gas charged shock, but they hold up to loads better, and don't leak in the winter.

I run close to max tire weight all the time, and on the rear, a gas shock just wouldn't hold up. These ones have been bulletproof

If I recall rightly, they are the 58000 series, 58674 for the fronts, and 58675 for the rears. Its been a while since I bought them, but perhaps check with NAPA, or on gabriel shocks website.

The cost will vary depending where you are, but too expensive is the cost for everything these days.
