    I have to buy new shocks and I was curious about everyones opinion on what brand rides the smoothest. Goin on an 06 W9. I had Monroes on my 379 but not sure it was any smoother than Factory

    I run Gabriel Gas-X shocks on my W9 and I think they're the best shock you can get for a truck...Quite an improvement in the ride if you set them correctly.

    Go with oil shocks, better ride, easy to detect if they leak. Gabreils are well made shocks and they last well.
