About shocks??....

I have a 72 LWB with stock suspension running 33X12.5's on GM Wagon Wheels...I need to purchase shocks and wonder what everyone recommends. What are you running and are you happy with their performance? Thanks....Paul K

I'm running KYB Gas-A-Justs (which are non-adjustable, btw) and they are a decent shock for the money. Used to have Monroe Gas Magnums, and they got mushy sooner than I thought they should. I've been hearing good things about Monroe Sensatracs, but have never tried them. I wouln advise against Sears Ridehandlers (I think that's what they're called). Put them on a van years ago and they floated like crazy - no control at all.

I've heard very good things about Doetsch Shocks. I will be putting these at all four corners within the next 6 months. Also stay away from coilovers, bad news.
