Front shocks for lowered '87 c-10?
I need some new front shocks for my '87. Anyone know which ones will work? Was just gonna go to autozone or Oreily to get some. Don't need anything fancy just a good replacement shock. Not sure how much my front is lowered since I bought the truck this way. If I had to guess I'd say its about a 3" drop in the front.

Try some KYB GR-2's. Same great KYB quality w/a slightly better ride quality vs. their 'Gas-a-Just' line.

It's reall going to depend on how it was lowered. I.e. Springs only, spindles or both.

I ended up pulling a wheel and looking at it. Looks like a spindle drop as the springs look ugly and original. The shocks on there are the stock length Monroes which look shot. Also looks like they're the right length so I'm just gonna go get new ones o the same size.
