Default replacement shocks
We have a 96 CE with Z51 suspension. Would like to take some of the stiffness out of the ride. What shocks would help with this? Thanks

Normally I would say not buy Monroe or Gabriel shocks due to the reason they are not stiff like Bilstien. But in your case I would say go for those.

You can get DRM (Doug Rippie) to revalve your shocks with less compression or you can call and send direct to Bilstein.......

KYB's are softer and less expensive than Bilsteins
