i wanna put different shocks on my truck, though im gonna miss my bilsteins, the ride is just too rough for me, though the handling is probably one of the best you can get out of an suv shock.
i figure the sensatracs are relatively inexpensive and most people are happy with them, stating the ride and handling are good. theyre mid-grade shocks.
edelbrocks are probably a higher quality made shock, though ive heard good and bad about them, and they dont come cheap, which is what is making me a little leary of them. i dont wanna spend an assload of money on shocks again and have to swap em out in year because of a rough ride.
im willing to sacrifice some of the great handling i get from the bilsteins with a softer ride i would get from either of these 2 shocks.
i also should mention that i NEVER take this truck off of paved surfaces.
i started a thread about this a few days ago, but i prolly should have posted a poll, which is what im doing here. heres a link to the other thread:

if anyone can give any comparisons or testimony, please do. also, i plan on installing the new shocks myself - this shouldnt be too bad with hand tools, right?..any tips would be appreciated (i havent checked out my haynes yet, but im assuming they wont tell me everything i need to know.)
thanks all.
