Shocks

[bablurp]

I'm in the market for new shocks as my current shocks are pretty shot. Currently I have KYB Gas-A-Just and I have a stock suspension set up. I want a shock setup that would be off-road friendly. I was considering KYB Monomax or Bilstein but was unsure which model.

personally bilsteins would be my purchase. might look into ranchos... i have rancho 5000 right now. when i do my lift im going with the bilsteins

What Bilstein series would be appropriate to go with in this case? FYI: it's a 96 Tahoe 2DR 4WD

+1 on the bilstein i think they came on mine factory . i just changed them at 178k awesome for offroading they never failed me money was an issue when i did mine i bought autozone monroe brand i believe.. but these are POS my i think my old shocks were better lmao i just shelled out a grand for moog bushings and other shit but my next move is bilstiens again

whatever you want to put on your truck bro. they come stock with the blue and yellow bilsteins. i dont remeber what they are called... haha. i believe they are 5100 series. If you go to bilsteins website it will show you what they have. Its kinda like a good, better, best scenario i think with their shocks. the good in my opinion are still better than any other shocks!

I have had both the Rancho 5's and Bilstein HD's and I prefer the Bilsteins.

For a stock suspension that is going offroad, I would recommend the HD's, but you could select the Bilstein Comfort model (can't remember name) and the ride will be softer.

If I remember correctly, the Bilstein 5100's are only for lifted trucks.

I have run a few sets of bilstiens and love them

I vote for Bilstiens HD, definitly leaning toward them once I replace my monroe reflex.
