    Bought the truck a year ago and am pretty sure that it still has the original factory shocks in it. I've put another 10thousand miles on it and it's time to replace the worn out shocks before I go back to school

    I need help figuring out low'ish cost possibilities for the new shocks that are also halfway decent for light wheeling.

    Any input is appreciated!

    I'm guessing you're actually talking about the rear shocks only and not the front struts.

    I can't say enough about KYB Monomax's. They handle every bit as good as my old Billie 5100's. I'd stay away from anything KYB related that are in the KG series. They were pretty weak on my truck.

    Monroe's are shit and Gabriel is Monroe's even shittier little brother.

    Sorry shocks and struts wcp0611.
    And I'm just looking to level, with the amount of highway driving I do, lifting the truck probably isn't the best idea

    PM me if you want to go KYB instead of Billie's. I can get you all four for 100.00 total shipped.
