oh no, shocks again ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Time for new shocks, I think. My 20 year old Gabriels don't seem to be doing the job anymore.

I did a search here and found several recommendations for KYB (Gas-Adjust) and a couple for Monroe, and there was one who ponied up the cash for Bilsteins.

Most of that was from a couple years old posts, I'm wondering if anything has changed.

My application is stock OEM suspension, 1964 C10 stepside.
I'm looking for a comfortable ride on the highway, sometimes bumpy highway.
But no off-road. Usually drive empty but sometimes me and two passengers and some 750 lbs of motorcycles.

Right now it is looking like KYB is the way to go.
Any other suggestions?
