Changing shocks for a softer ride - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a'73 K20 PU and it currently has a very stiff and bouncy ride. I was thinking that it may be time for some new shock absorbers because I dont know the last time they were changed.

Would swapping out the shocks make for a less bumpy ride and if so, which set woudl do this the best? I dont want anything like a Cadillac but it currently reminds me of my old Jeep CJ7 and I want something kind of in between.

Ridetech has the best shock for the money hands down. I even put them on my new Silverado. I can drop ship them to you if you want them.

What is the cost for 4 for my '73 K20 shipped to 91977?

Is it lowered? Could you measure the shocks center to center at ride height.

Its not lowered and it may be lifted.

They look to be 20" center to center. Does that sound right?
