I have a 91 pickup 4wd standard cab with stock suspesion (is yellow the color of the stock shocks?) and one of my shocks popped off of the bracket from being overflexed. Does anyone have any reccomendations for an overall good shock that is not too stiff but will still retain the height? Also, what is the stock travel for my pickup because i as thinking of getting a few more inches so it wont happen again. thanks

 

Your shocks have nothing to do with your ride height. Most here like Bilstiens for off-roading. I have Skyjacker Nitros, they are softer than Bilstiens and you can get them for different lifts.

 

are ur shocks yellow and blue if so sounds like you have Bilstiens

 

I believe the stockers are black. Do a search and you'll find a ton of aftermarket shock related threads

 

Get ya some OME's...I had the same thing happen to me.

 

Stock shocks are black. plain yellow could be a 'house brand' from some store or else the previous owner just painted the stock ones. yellow/blue are billstiens. I ran Rancho RS5000s on my '87 great shock but a very firm ride when I was driving without a load in back.

 

I believe there are several companys that use yellow. I know monroes (the cheaper ones) are yellow

 

:pat: MONROE! :pat: Thats the name I was trying to remember! Thanks guy!

 

thanks for all the help guys. so what would be the best between ome and bilstein? i just want a soft ride cause mine feels like ลลลล even when im crawling. thanks

 

bilstein are know to be pretty stiff

 

OME's are much softer than Bilstien but they are also around $70 each.
