In many years the 1/2-, 3/4-, and 1-ton used the same shock. But that information is worthless if yours isn't one of those years...

But to be honest, I think the rear springs on 1 tons are so stiff that shocks would have little effect. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 46 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 46 | sorry about that the truck is a 52 trying | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 | If you have one of your old shocks,take it with you and tell them to match it up.They will be cheaper if you can find them local,and no shiping.

I don't have time to look it up right now...
