shocks ?

Recommend good shocks for the front of my stock height 99 CTD 4x4, best shock at a decent price.

Hmm, Bilstien(soft?), Rancho 5000, Kyb , PRO Comp etc....

I want some firmness, its real mushy going slow on rutted dirt roads and has the original stock shocks that i think are shot if they ever werent. I hear Bilstiens are soft

I have Rancho 5000s on my old chevy 4x4 and they seem excelent

Oh, and who has the best prices to order them ? I was looking at Summit Raceing's site but maybe there is beter priceing from someone else

I just put a set of Monroe Reflexes on my 96 and am very happy with them. Not too firm a ride.

Sounds like you're not too interested in the Bilsteins, but I've been very happy with mine on my 2000.

was wondering about bilsteins...are they mushy? I want some thing firm for my front since my dodge has coil springs and its a soft ride any way compared to my leaf spring chevy

I have ranchos on my old 81 chevy 4x4 for 20 years and they are good shocks, never a hint of leak

Its been many years sence ive bought shocks
