1st gen Cummins W350 shocks.
So I emailed a rep from Bilstien asking them if they still make shocks specific for our trucks. The answer was no. I know BDS makes a set of shocks for D/W 150, 250, and 350 trucks... With gasoline power trains. I was wondering if any of you know a company that makes shocks for our trucks other than Skyjacker or Rancho? Monroe possibly? Not that there's anything wrong with Skyjacker or Rancho, I just like to have options.
Thanks

Genos garage.com lists bilsteins for these trucks.

I like KYB shocks personally, but on a IFS behicles, I'd go bilsteins every time.

skyjacker monotube M95's are IMO the best shock for a 1st gen.

I missed that.
Skyjacker or Rancho with the length and ends you need I guess.

Problem is you haven't measured to see what length shock you need and then gone online and found one that fits.
