They're long gone. I replaced the shocks on my '99 at 37K and they were
overdue. I just replaced the shocks on my '03 this weekend at under 12K
after several complaints from my other half that the truck was prone to
bouncing all over the road (yes, boys, she *ordered* me to replace the
shocks). Replace 'em with just about anything and you'll be happy.
Rancho's shocks tend to be geared more towards off-road; Monroes are
probably a good choice for you, and the Edelbrocks I installed also get
rave reviews.
