decent set of shocks for k10 farm rig

I'm bounce'n & pogo'n pretty good on the blacktop and getting some hard thuds at slow speeds in 4wd on the farm in this old truck, it's got 31" tires and it might be lifted a bit too not sure but I was hoping for is some suggestions on a full set of good shocks that won't set me back to much...........

Re: decent set of shocks for k10 farm rig

I've been running KYB Gas-A-Just shocks (#KG5417) for quite a while. They are a bit firmer than stock but will loosen up some with use. Affordable, too. My K20 has 2 1/2" Softrides up front so I'm running the stock length rear shocks up front. Can't say if they will be the right ones for your truck though, without knowing for sure if your front is lifted. In other words, they may be too long if your front is at stock height.

I've had decent luck with rough country shocks but Bilsteins are far superior IMO. I haven't put any on my old chevys but plenty on dodge diesels.
