New Shocks?

My girl has reached the 50K area and I am thinking of getting some new shocks. The factory shocks seem to be getting a little week. I don't get to do as much off-roading as I would like but the roads I travel in rural areas are pretty rough. Anyone got some suggestions on shocks that won't necessarily break my wallet and put me in the dog house?

Honestly Bilesteins are the best but they will cost ya! Id just go to the autoparts store and see what they have. Monroes are decent as well as gabriel products. Getting there better brand will be the best way to go!

go Blue and Yellow!

Don’t bother with anything else. They are the single biggest improvement you can make to a stock truck. There is a reason they come stander on most all high performance cars and trucks.
