Front and rear shock/strut questions and recommendations

[zombie69lol]

Hello all, I have a 1991 Sierra 1500, with stock shocks in the front and some added leaf springs in the back with stock shock. i was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for some good shocks for my truck. Personally, i don't mind that it rides like a boat but i guessss i should replace them. So, what are some good shocks, that give me a nice ride, without an extremely high price. I was looking at monroe gas-magnums for the front and they are about $48 each. and the same for the back are about $58 each. Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated. thank y'all so much!

2 or 4 wheel drive?

I've been running HD gas magnums (truck) on my 98 K2500 (8600 GVWR) for the last 6 years.

Literally crossed the continent a couple times towing a 35 foot (9000 lbs) travel trailer.

Still going strong and not a single complaint about 'em.

I got mine at crappy tire, so they were also affordable and easy to get.

Summary: Work good, not expensive, last long time.

I went ahead and put in some Monroe gas magnums and it rides like a dream now. Loving it. Thank you for the recommendation great white!

Sounds good. I run Monroe Reflex monotubes on my 95, they ride fairly similar to the Bilsteins on my Avalanche, but certainly didn't cost as much.

i hated my monroes, i blew through those on a stock suspension truck within months multiple times.

Well my trucks only 2wd so I won't be doing any crazy off road abuse to my truck. So I think I'll be good.
