Hello guys, I have a 98 obs chevy z71. And im looking to buy new shocks. My tuck is bone stock
I have never messed with em before so I don't know much about it...just want a good ride not much off roading
...what's a good brand and size/series??? The reason i am looking for shocks is my left back broke blew or whatever shocks do when they go bad.....Any input would be awesome... thanks guys....

I have the Bilstein heavy duties on my 94 Z71 but Edelbrock makes good ones too.

If doing yourself (easy when all shocks), check out shockwarehouse.com, good prices no shipping fees.

If you plan on keeping the truck for a while, and want the best shock out there, Bilstein HD's. It's the best suspension mod you can make for a stock (non-lifted) truck. I've had mine for over 100,000 mile and 15 years.
