Of note - GM HD trucks have front torsion bar suspension like our Mopars too. Although mine truck scales 7,300 with 4,300 over the front axle. Compared to the ’62 wagon that scales
4,080 dripping wet, with 2,040 over the front axle.

Subject: RE: Front Shock Recommendation
True, but Bilsteins do an amazing job without sacrificing the ride quality. Replaced the minimum quality OEM shocks on my ¾ ton 2008 GMC crew cab at 20,000 miles - wish I had done
it sooner. It used to skip sideways a little over railroad track crossing etc. With the Bilsteins she stays planted.
WOW! Them is some expensive shocks!!!

You are correct. The Monroe shocks are good. Nick was thinking of some shocks upscale from stock specifications.
Thanks,
