new shocks

Hello. I have 91 toyota pu xtracab bl 3inch 4 inch blocks under stock leafs. recently bought it. torsion are cranked up.

my struts are leaking up front and starting to bob. i need direction for my next move.

i would like a nice set of struts and take care of any problems with my current set up.

mostly on road but live in maine.

You could put ball joint spacers up front and take out some of the pre-load on the torsion bars to soften up the ride:

Some front shock options:

And up front, you just have regular old shocks, not a strut like on FWD cars.
