so what is the hot ticket for dual shocks?

[H20 Toie]

Just got a 91 k5 and it has dual shocks in the front, its been 15 years since i sold my last blazer and back in the day i ran rancho 9000s and set the fronts at 1
i would image someone has come out with better shocks by now
not looking for cheapest and not opposed to changing springs (it has a rancho 4" which is what i use to have)
not expecting it to ride like my range rover but want to set it up right , mostly going to be hiway driving

Budget?

And the ticket is to ditch the second shock and run a single quality shock

X2.... And will cost you about the same in the long run

The nice thing about having the dual shock setup, is that you can run a single, longer shock, using the upper auxiliary shock mount.

Don't run dual shocks, the 80's are over.

Ok I get it
One shock
But back to the question

Which one ?

Bilsteins 5100 are a good bet. Not too badly priced. Or you could go full on triple bypasses. Whatever works.

How much travel are you looking at?

 

[tRustyK5]

Bilstein, or any other quality monotube shock the correct length for your truck. For a nicer ride using off the shelf springs try Tuff Country EZ rides. For 4" kit springs I think shocks in the 10-11" stroke range is what you need

Bilstien or the fox 2.0's. The fox 2.0's really changed how my dads k5 handled.
