Time for new shocks
Well after this weekend and all the hard driving I did my shocks are f-ed, worst than that I am very low on money for the rest of the month, having said that I think I will be saving for a set of bilstein HD's for my truck.
Now that I have my rant out does anyone have any recommendations of were I can buy these shocks for cheap. I decided that I will only buy these because I want to try them. I have had great luch with the rancho's but I want to see if the bilsteins live up to their name because if they do then they are much better than the rancho. I do alot of driving on hard uneven roads and I have a lead foot so I need them as quickly as I can afford them.

is the 25% on the set or individual shock? I was looking around and it didn't go in to to much detail. so instead of it being $273 for a set its $205, if thats true I'm picking up a set by the end of the month.

if you have an advance auto parts, they are running a deal for a $80 rebate on "select" Monroe shocks. They have the Sensa-tracs at my local shop for 43 a pop. Oh, and 5qt of Mobile1 with Mobile1 filter for 30 bucks....I'm going tonight to get some for the wife's ride.

I'm running the monroe Sensa-tracs on the front of my 95 and there pretty good. To me there a little soft on the highway, but when i drive through the mountains or go off-road they feel good. At the time that was the stiffest shock that i could afford and along with the energy suspension sway bar bushing kit, my truck rides very nice. Now it feels like a truck and not like a towncar that floats on air (which i hate).
Now the KYB Excel-G shocks are a VERY soft shock and wound not recommend them.
