I would like you guys to recommend me some new shocks.
for my 1997 Ford 3/4ton 4x4.

I still have the originals at 45,000 miles.

Any comments and suggestions on something that you have actually used will be appreciated.

If I had it to do over again, I woul dlook at the Monroe's. The Bilsteins did not impress me one iota, except for the yellow paint.

I am thinking of sliding under there with a can of black spray paint.
