The Shocks on my truck are Monroe's on the front and gabriels on the
rear. Both are the Variable valve variety, and they ride very well, and
they are among the cheaper variety. They are soft in the middle of
their range, but get firmer as the bumps get bigger, just perfect IMHO.
You shouldnt need much more than a set of sockets and maybe a wrench
or two, but it is infinitely easier to find a friend with air tools.
How far are you from Illinois or Forestville? Anybody know Droo and
want to lend a hand?
