    They have never been the best, but sometimes they are the only game in town. Sadly.

    Its a freightshaker..... there are no shocks to make up for a bad ride. Thats why they are called Freightshakers.

    I buy OE shocks from Peterbilt, mostly because they’re black and look ok with my blue frame versus yellow ones. Last week steer shocks were $115 each and drive shocks were $140.

    I recently did Monroe on steer and Gabriel on rear. Both from Fleet Pride. Just what they had. If I remember correctly the OEM from Freightliner are reasonable priced.
