    Is there consensus (LOL) on what front shocks are best, or is it more of a personal/brand loyalty decision?

    I can't find Bilsteins for kenworth.

    I just use the TRP shocks from Paccar. They're not gas charged, but I haven't had problems with blowouts like I have with aftermarket brands.

    I don't believe Bilstein makes shocks for Class 8 trucks.

    Class 5 and 6, maybe. They do sell some for freightliner and international, probably just the smaller ones, though.
