Hey guy,
My 91 stays on the pavement and occasional dirt roads. It's got 1.5 inches of lift(from the increase of 15" wheels to 18" wheels). It's got the F44 heavy duty chassis(not sure if that matters for shocks) and is sitting at 190k and I'm pretty sure the shocks have not been replaced in many many years if ever. Since I installed the larger heavier wheels/tires I know I will need a little more dampening and would like the most comfortable ride possible. Also keep in mind that there are 1 inch wheel adapters on the truck as well so there is the increase in mechanical advantage of the wheel weight to consider as well.
Looking at rockauto, I see KYB, AC Delco, Monroe, Gabrial, etc. They all make a wide variety of shocks and I'm not sure which would be best for my application.
Thanks fellas.
