I have been looking for new shocks, and I can not find anyone that is not gas shocks. Not that I was looking for it, it was more like sort of surprise. But, it is obviously several brands, Monroe, Gabriel, KYB, and others. But, I have no clue which one are the best for a stock suspension with stock or as close to stock springs as possible.
Then Gabriel has the Hi-Jackers, and Monroe has their equivalents. I had Monroe on my 1971 Ford Torino, and enjoyed being able to fell them up with air when I was pulling a trailer. Or, having a lot of stuff in the trunk. That was sort of the best of it all with the entire car. :D Then, to use the shocks as helping springs means that the brackets for the shocks need to be strong enough to take extra load.
