I want to install 4 new shocks on my '95 4WD truck. This truck originally came with a 'touring package' that included (among other things) gas shocks. I'd like to replace these shocks for a better ride, and was looking at some Kayaba gas shocks, the ones with a full metal cover (like the factory shocks). I cant seem to find the Kayaba's though, anyone have any ideas? Should I just stay with the factory replacement shocks? My suspension is bone-stock, tires are Bridgestone LT235/75R15.

I hear Monroe makes nice mushy shocks for trucks...but, they usually don't get much musher than stock...otherwise, mush becomes float...which is dangerous, for driver, and car...

I went with the Rancho 9000's for my 90 4wd.
They feel good on the highway but also give
me some extra travel when I go offroading.
either way I would rec. the Rancho's. You could
even look at the RS 5000's. Heard only good about these
as well

Bilstien - great all around tough shock
Skyjacker - great shock for flex
Rancho 9000 - Adjustable from the inside, great shock but packs a hefty price
Procomp - MX6 - Adjustable, i hear great things about this shock
Procomp - ES3000 - tough shock that can take a lickin and keep on tickin'
Trailmaster SSV (speed smart valving) 'smart' shock, i hear this is a pretty good shock for most things.

Hope i covered the main ones
