I like Air shocks Gabriel HiJackers Air Shocks I've used them on my 1965 3/4 ton and my 1968 long horn and on my 1991 ranger with the 4.0 5 speed and 4.11 gear in the back they are the best bet for the money for 90.00 life time warranty throw auto zone For the front shock that is stiff use these Bilstein shocks they are 90.00 a peace but life time warranty and they last a long time so far my bilstein shocks on my Chevy truck 9 years so far and i'm in the junk hauling business if you want life time get the proven tested shocks

One last thing Tires if you want a set of tires to last 200,000 miles look into these under www.tirerack.com

I had a set of these tires on my 1972 for the last 4 years so far got 230,000

Michelin XPS Highway Rib

Summer light truck tires are for drivers who want a combination of heavy-duty load capacity, even wear and low noise along with traction on dry and wet roads. Sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on medium and heavy-duty 2WD trucks, vans and pickups, Highway Rib Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

O.E. Highway Rib Summer light truck tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle's original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. tires' performance category and specifications.


Every thing i've given you has been testing in the Junk and scrap hauling business that I've been doing for over 20 years used all sorts of tires shocks and these are proven me right every time.I want things to last and last they have
