I need all new shocks, i was going to buy some bilstein hd shocks, but my neighbor was telling me he gets a great deal on parts from napa because he drives for them. Ive never heard much about NAPA shocks, anyone know anything about them? are they any good?

We get them through work and they ride like factory... I mean it would depend on what i am doing but i got autozones on the front of the ranger and you can deff tell the difference, but i think ill take them in soon and replace them cause they are lifetime warrenty haha

with the discount i get (its 10% above what we buy the part for) so probably will run you 25-30$ ea

i just got my shocks in i just went with the Bilstein 4600 series. Not their highest but i think they should do good.

Since i work for Oreilly auto parts ill let u in on a lil secret.... he can use his discount on special order parts aswell so get the bilstiens or rancho rs/xs serries... i ordered rancho rs5036 for the rear of my truck(im getting better ones later) but i only spent $46.08 per shock

I swear by Bilstein. Pay a little more, get a lot more.
