what shocks are Best? stock 72 K5.
 
I'm looking at bilstein, but saw some coil over shocks?
Any suggestions? Factory K5, 4x4, 31x10.50's. I don't off road, just looking for a good set of shocks to replace original (I think they are) thank for your time.

Can't go wrong with just the basic Rancho 5000 shock if you are not hard on the truck off road.

I run a cheap Rancho knock off in my Suburban, and they are fine to this day; I think I've had them on the burb for 15 years now.

The Bilstein 5100 is a premium shock, and cost 3 times what the basic Rancho shock goes for. I ran the 5100 Billy in my 1970 K10 SWB, and found that it was pretty stiff. Later I regretted getting them, when I should have just went with a basic type.
