Best Shocks for the money

[WannaXP8]

I have a 98 with a tt and shackles, and 31s, and I need new shocks, I pull a trailer almost ever weekend, ifs its not two 4 wheelers, its a 19 foot boat, so I need a good shock for the money, auto zone gots gabrials (sp?) for like 24.99 I think, but then they got belstiens which I know is a good shock, had them on a couple of cars, but I dont have enough money to spend on those right now, So what is a good shock for say under $35.00.

The gabriels are great shocks for the price! I've used them on my last '92 explorer and had them for a short while on my '94 explorer. "Best bang for the buck" if you will. Other shocks to look at are the rancho rsx shocks. There a self adjusting shock and I had them on my '94. There a little more pricewise than the Gabriels but well worth it I think.

The RSX's run around $50 a piece. If you're looking for something around $35, you could get some Rancho RS5000s.

I had my Rancho 5000's put on today, and they make a world of difference. Much stiffer ride, and much better handling. I got mine for $37.99 at www.jackit.com.

Call www.rockymountainsusp.com as they will probably beat that price. They have them advertised at 38.00.

Tell them Brian Green from Plano, TX sent you

Im not looking for a much stiffer ride..I mean it goes off roadind sometimes, but not as much as its on the street, so I need something that will help towing, but not be like riding on a log, cause its stiff ride now with just the torrsion twist and shackles, dont want it to much stiffer..
