Its really just you're brand and preference. I have KYB schocks, but I would also pic Monroe Gas Matics or Sensa Trac.

Changing the shocks is quite simple, lift up the truck on one side, take off the wheel and unbolt the shock from its upper and lower mount.

I use procomp. They are a little bigger than standard otc brands. A great balance between performance and economy.
