Agreed, sometimes shocks just do that. If you want to go bigger and better go Bilstien, and I've heard Edelbrock shocks are pretty stout. I've also had great success with BDS shocks, they are pretty beefy. Doesche Tech also makes a great shock absorber.

you will ave to get adapters.

Our gen and probably 3rds and 4ths are eye/Stem.
The 1st gen and pick ups are eye/eye.

I got an adapter from 4wheel parts made by pro comp. Thing is beefy.
Much easier to change out shocks now. i pretty much loath stem style shocks.
