Hi new here! Anyways I just bought a 99 ext cab silverado and it has ALOT of miles on it 167,000!!! Well it needs new shocks real bad and i am just wondering what the best shock on a budget would be?
I found some rancho RS5000 series on sale on 4wheelparts.com buy 3 get one free! Not exactly sure if those are any good or not.
Btw the truck has a 3" body lift
Thanks

Yea rancho makes some pretty good shocks so those would probly be good. another good shock is skyjacker they make shocks and liftkits.

Jhamb, welcome to the forum!!! Is it a body lift or a suspention lift? If it just a body lift then you can get the standard size shock for almost all companies, but if it is a suspention lift then your select will be limited. Check out this site, its where I bought my monroe shock.

Well I decided to go with the Ranch RS5000 series, they seem to be a pretty good shock plus I got a really good price on them too! 149.56 after tax including shipping. fourwheelparts.com is having a sale on them right buy 3 get one free! thanks for the help!
