    Hey guys just a quick question I'm due for replacing all my shocks I have a 2017 Volvo 780 and I used to buy my shocks directly from the dealer the black shocks don't know if color matters wanted to find out if anybody has a recommendation on heavy-duty shocks that might be better than the standard ones a truck comes out with

    If you’re on a regular shock replacement schedule of replacing shocks every 100k miles, a less expensive option is Gabriel Fleetline shocks, they’re about half the price as Sachs with a one year or 100k mile warranty.

    I’ve used them as replacements for over fifteen years and they worked well.
     
    Brettj3876 and KB3MMX Thank this.

    TEC of Fontana has the cheapest prices for Gabriel shocks.

    Try Amazon or eBay too.
