Just bought an 85 C10

[1985BlackBetty]

Hi, I'm Lindsay, I'm 22 from Pennsylvania. I just bought a 1985 C10 305 V8 2WD and wanted opinions and a little guidance. I'm just starting off learning how to work on my truck, my brother has been helping a lot but he's a Ford guy and very busy. I'm looking to replace my shocks and wanted your opinion on whether these seemed okay, if not where is a good place to get them?

They Rancho RS5000 High-performance for 50.99 a piece.


Thanks for you help!

I have heard pretty good things about them and seems like a pretty good price. What are your plans for the truck?

[trickedout420]

rancho are good shocks, but if you want a good ride, with it being a 2wd i would look into the edelbrock IAS , or bilstien (sp?)

Welcome Lindsay !




What are your plans for the truck?

This is very important, especially for your driving conditions and your expectations of your truck.
