I was wanting to buy new shocks for my 57 half ton GMC soon and i was wanting to know if anybody here had any suggestions on what type to get. What brand and/or size should i get? I dont have the originals anymore so i dont really have much to match up with, and the truck is down to the bare chasis so i cant really get an accurate measurement on the travel distance. The suspension is stock hieght.

rear, Monroe "Limited Edition" LE10018 [pair] or Gabriel 82060 [each] ... front, Monroe 3100 or Gabriel 82047
