i need some help selecting shocks
 
hey guys.i tried the search but had no luck.im finishing my airbag setup on my build and im at the point where i need shocks.since im building my own mounting brackets i could use just about anything you suggest.im using a DeNominator-II 2500 and 2600 setup.what i would really like to use is a common stock shock that will work and i could easily order from a local parts store.reason being since i live in the great white north Canada, they think its a great idea to charge an arm and a leg to get it across the border from the U.S.thanks for any help fellas

You're building your own shock mounts? Use OE replacement shocks of your choice. KYB GR-2's, Bilsteins, Monroe Select-a-Tracs.

I second that. They are great all around daily driver shocks and easy to get if you need a replacement.

That's what I would do. When I did the shock mounts for my 64, I used replacement shocks for the front & built the mounts to accomodate the range of compression/extension necessary for the bags (as measured from ride height).

I did use a different rear shock but only because @ the time I built everything, they did not offer a direct C10 replacement.
