Shocks?

I am looking for a set of shocks for a 1987 k20 (i know its not K but i dont remember if the four wheel drive is R or V). I am looking for a buget shock but yet one that will perform nicely. My truck is a stock ride and will stay the same for a long time. thanks

Re: Shocks?

Whats the budget ? I like Monroe Gas Magnum shocks. Seems like Monroes last a LONG time. I had a set of lower line Monroes on my truck, the previous owner had installed them who knows when, and my family drove the truck for 8-9 years. Took them off and they were still in good working order.
