Question new shocks.

With the amazing economy, I seem to be running short on money, however i couldn't go with the shocks i have on my truck any longer. the ride is terrible and when i hit a big bump, its actually getting dangerous. So while buying a new dome lens and LED dome light i came across the LMC "HD GAS CHARGED SHOCK" for 20 bucks a piece. These being cheaper then anything else I have found I bought them. Did I make a mistake or are these a reasonable shock.

these ones

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: new shocks.

Alright, will do. shipping is 3-7 days. so ill probably have them Tuesday or Wednesday, and have it in the shop on the hoist that day. I'm really sick of riding like a lumber truck.
