Shock Recommendations please
1990 Toy P/U 4WD XtraCab 5 Speed
hi,
i need to replace my shocks as at least one of them are leaking. i had the factory shocks on for years and years, and replaced them with a set of monroes—don't remember the model. but after a few years, as mentioned, at least is one is leaking.
any recommendations? should i just get the OEMs? (at least they lasted far longer than the monroes i got.)
i don't do any serious off roading, in fact i try to avoid the off road as much as possible.) nor do i carry campers, gravel, snow plows, etc. no lift kits are any mods to the original suspension.
thanks.

You can get Bilstein Heavy Duty for around $66/shock at www.tirerack.com & they are OUTSTANDING.
I've tried a lot of different shocks & always come back to Bilstein. Last forever, incredible control without being harsh.

If you don't off-road I like my Procomp ES3000's. Good road manners and good ride quality. I say this even though my rear springs are shot.
However, they seem a little short when it comes to droop travel for off-road stuff. But I have yet to really confirm this.
For the price though, I am happy with them.

I'll tell you but my part numbers are for a 4" lift.
Model 5100 series
Note these are new part numbers and replace the older numbers (old numbers) but in researching them it helps to use the old numbers.
Front IFS (4"lift only) part # 24-185745 (F4-BE5-6582-H5)
Rear 4wd pickup (4" lift) part # 24-185752 (F4-BE5-6583-H5)
