New Shocks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After being beat up by my Rancho's for years I'm ready to replace my shocks in the Jimmy. What is a good urban driving shock? The city streets are brutal. There is no lift on the Jimmy.

A lot of people say bilstein's are good. It probably won't ever be that smooth since you have those negative arched springs up front. Every little bit helps though.

Bilstein would also get my vote.

Third on the Bilstein vote. I have had them on lowered, lifted, and stock trucks.
