Up front I'm running a stock strait axle with 8 leaf springs (stock, I believe). The rear has 10 leaf springs (stock, I believe) with 9" rear end.

I just replaced my front shocks and springs. I'm running Monroe 31000 Monro-Matic shocks on a stock suspension. I still need to replace the rear shocks.
