What options for a good set of smooth riding shock options are for these trucks? Looking for options on shocks for stock ride height K10.

Part # would be great and opinions on ride.

Bilstein make any?

I would recommend a basic hydraulic shock for best ride. The stock springs are short and stiff, do not move much. Gas charged shocks will just make the ride firmer. IMO there is no reason to use them on the stock sprung K trucks. The cheapest shock you can get from a chain store may likely be the best for ride quality.
