Suspetion work
what are the shocks that you would recomend for my 98 expy with rear air suspention. I was looking into the Ranchos but they said that it would not be a reliable shocks for the truck ( RS500) model.
And what are the biggest tires that I can put on my truck with out having to lift it?

one word - bilstein
Buy them and never look back. Buy others and wish you installed the Bilsteins first.
BTW, last I looked, Rancho still did not make a rear shock that was compatible with LLS. Have they made one now?

Buzzard, do you have LLS? If so, what is the part number for the rear shock and how do you like the ride? I've got another friend that wants to get her stuff done....

Get Bilsteins since you have LLS.......
