Highboy shocks

I've searched the threads, but haven't found info for stock-height Highboys, only lifted/modified.


My rig is a stock 1976 F250 4x4 running 235/85/16 BFGs.


Looking for a performance shock recommendation. All I can find available are Monroe Gas Magnum (which might be fine). Was hoping for Bilsteins, but looks like they no longer make them.


Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have run KYB's on a few different trucks and have been happy with their performance.

I purchased Rancho 9000's on my stock 76 highboy. Been a couple years since I ordered them and can't remember the part number's off my head. I'll check tomorrow and post back the numbers. They run sales also from time to time.
