Shocks to improve street handling

I'm looking for a set of shocks that will improve handling on the street. I have a 1999 4x2 at stock ride height. I don't take the truck off road, I don't tow and I don't haul anything too heavy. I'm looking for a shock that will improve handling on the street. I'm fine with a stiff ride. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks, Marc

 

Brand new shocks of any brand will probably be good since your truck is older, shocks have a rough life and need to be replaced when not performing well.

 

x2. As far as specific recommendations go, I'm very happy with my Bilstein 5100s.

 

x2, 5100's for me were a major improvement over my old set, less body roll, over all a better feel.

 

Thanks guys. What are your opinion on these http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/kyb_monomax.cfm

 

I have no experience with them. Sorry.

Unless you're moving into high-end products, I think you'll find the majority of folks here will favor Bilstein or OME. Favorite places to shop include DSM and . Both offer good products, excellent service, and TW member discounts.

 

Thanks Norton

 

Yea another vote here for the 5100/5150s here

 

i am also very happy with my 5100's plus you can keep stock height with them and like someone else stated above me DSM gives TW memeber discounts. i bought from DSM and the customer service was great and shipping was very fast. i highly recommend them

 

I ended up buying the KYB MonoMax's. I could not be happier with them. I wanted something that was designed to improve street handling and these definitely do the trick.

 

Sounds like the bilstein HD to me.

 

Kyb makes a lot of the oem suspension for motorcycles. I wonder how they are on light trucks. I went with ome because everyone here said ome or bilstein
suspension. But I wonder sometimes how much of it is based on fact and how much has become herd mentality.
