I want to grab some new shocks for my short box 59 apache fleetside and wondered what others have tried and used. If you can let me know what brands, makes and model you liked, hated, etc. Any advice would be much appreciated.

There is enough friction in the leaves that its better not to have a stout heavy duty shock.
