Question Shocks

Any recommendations for replacing shocks, I took the truck for a quick spin around the block and found that it had more than normal lean around the corners and seemed real soft. Truck is 68 GMC long stepper any help would be great thanks

Re: Shocks

I've been a big fan of KYB shocks.

Re: Shocks

Also if you dont have a sway bar in the front ADD one. It makes a huge difference. I agree kyb is the way to go
