I have a '97 Chev K1500 that probably needs new shocks (150,000
miles). The truck has a light camper mounted permanently, about 650
lbs. I had the factory "heavy-duty" shocks (not the Bilsteins) and
have been happy with them. The truck travels mostly on roads (some
b-a-d), but little "hard-core" four-wheeling. Any recommendations for
a good, functional set of replacements?

Thanks . . . Kurt

I have Monroe gas magnums on my 1999 K1500, I like them better than the OEM
Bilsteins.

Monroe Gas-Matics! You aint got enough weight in the back to warrant
coil over shocks.
