I have the Monroe Reflex shocks on mine and I like 'em. Good cornering, braking, etc. A wee bit stiff, maybe, but it's a truck.

I also put Monroe Reflex on my '98. They work very well.

Edelbrock from performance products seem to work decently on the interstate and on logging roads

Yo, I had new shocks installed last night at the urging of a few friends on this webboard......I got Monroe Sensatracs. I got to test 'em out on the road last night and this morning on the way to work.........I think they're worth the money. I don't feel the potholes and sewer caps on the roads anymore. Big difference on speed bumps too.

Side note - Sears has them on sale this week for $39 each with FREE INSTALL. Just say no to the alignment and other add ons they push you for. Good deal, big difference, would recommend to all.

Good luck...
