Hi, I have just brought in a 1987 Stepside to Australia and have been trying to get Shocks for it. I need front and rear.

It looks like it might have been lowered a bit, coils looks like it has been cut.

what suggestions do you have and who is a good supplier ?

Nice looking truck. Air Ride Technology makes a great shock for lowered trucks. A little pricey but come with a million mile warranty. Measure your shock at ride height and they will tell you which shock lenght you need. These are the best shocks that I've found since I lowered my new 77 Stepside in 1978.

Here are a couple of side photos, how much do you think it has been lowered from factory ?

And will standard shocks be ok to fit or will I need different shocks ?

From the ground to the lip of the FRONT guard it is 2 feet 4 inches

From the ground to the lip of the REAR guard it is 2 feet 3.5 inches
