Shocks Recommendation

[78Chev]

Just got back from my first trip since the rebuild was complete. Cruised great and got 20+ mpg round trip even against a pretty good head wind going out to Portland OR. A few years ago I put some pretty stiff Monroe shocks on it and the trip was almost unbearably jarring. Can you all recommend a set of shocks to make this thing ride like a nice half ton 2WD again? My wife thanks you in advance. Many thanks.

I'm interested in what others have tried in this same situation as well.

My '86 has the same shocks (Monroe Sensatrak - Black tube) and I noticed the same thing...

But, since I also own the 3/4 ton burb, the 1/2 ton with the Monroes feels "mushy" anyways.

But I know what you mean.

Some of the ride is also in your tires too.

Great to hear that the truck performed well on the trip! Exciting!
