Shock selection
Recently did a shackle reversal on my ‘86 1 ton, along with new leaf springs and figured I may as well get new shocks as well. I currently have some 10 year old skyjacker hydro 7000’s. Wanted to see what folks recommend for a slightly lifted truck (3”).

Extended shocks for lifted trucks are expensive. The last time I looked, rockuto did have some rancho lift shocks for sale if they have any left.

I’m not worried about price as long as it’s worth it. I’ve heard good about the bilsteins, I guess the downfall is having just 2 shocks up front for all the eight of the front end.
