    Hi everyone, so I just had a question about shock replacement. I have about 185,XXX miles on my truck and the shocks have never been replaced. My ride feels really bumpy and I miss having my smooth ride.

    I basically just want a stock height no lift because parking in Oakland/San Francisco is not ideal for trucks as is. I just wanted to see what shocks would you recommend and if it is ideal to check or change anything else on the suspension. I know this is a broad question, but feed back is greatly appreciated. If there are any other threads with similar questions I would appreciate the link also. Thanks everyone! :)

    Try bilstiens see if you can find some lightly used oem if not 5100's set at stock height.
    I just had mine replaced with some cheap ones and it made my ride worse

    I've got a set of OEM Tokicos off my 2012 with ~1k miles on them that I'd be willing to part with (no coils included, should be able to reuse yours). Would give you a real good price if you were interested.
