What shocks would be best for my truck? I'm on a budget and I drive empty more than I tow but when I town its lots of hay.

 

From what I read on here when I replaced mine most people seem to like bilstein hd's. I put them on mine and they seem to do the job.

 

X 2..... I have also had Rancho, Monroe and Edelbrock shocks and the Bilsteins are by far my favorite.

 

Try Monroe Gas Magnum Truck. These are the only shocks designed for extreme hauling and maxinum loads, and offer a improved ride. And they are affordable.

 

I've tried the sorry excuse for a shock that is mounted by DC, (from brand new up to various stages from "break in" to "broken down") some cheap no names (actually the stockers ain't that bad) and Bilstein 2549 and 2550 HD's

So far the Bilsteins are the best.

Bilsteins X3.

 

Sorry maggie but I have used them and they dont even come close to the Bilstein 5100......they are however cheaper

 

I've got the Bilstein HD's. A good improvment over stock.

 

wheres a good place to get them?

 

I can't remember for sure but I think I got mine from www.shockwarehouse.com

Or check out their website. http://www.topguncustomz.com/ I think they are cheaper on Ebay though.

 

Check these guys out. When I ordered mine, they had the best price by far and free shipping!

Oh, I just thought you were asking what the best shock is.

If that's all you wanted to know, it's this:




It's not so much budget-friendly though....

 

I have a set of RANCHO RS5000 on my 2500, great price about 40 50 bucks each, a see a good improvement over stock but yes the Bilstein seems to be the best choice for many people. price higher..

 

Just last weekend I replaced the Rancho RS5000's that were on my truck with Bilstein 5100's. AND MAN-O-MAN!!!!! What a difference! I got mine from 4Wheel Parts at the same price as Shockwarehouse. Well worth the extra 30 bucks compared to Rancho's RS5000. I fell the Bilstein 5100 WAY out rides the Rancho's. Much smoother ride driving over the concrete freeways.
