I like the ride the OEM shocks provide. And, they're really cheap. I'm almost at 40k and my truck still rides great, but I'd like to replace them. Question, what is the difference between the standard and premium rear shocks? They are priced the same. Also, I'm guessing the heavy duty version would be pretty stiff in the rear?

I'm going to put 4wd shocks in the front and rear. Firstly, because I have rear blocks and the 2wd shocks are too short. Also, I'd like another inch up front. That said, using oem parts, I'm not going to have any weird angles up front that cause premature wear? Besides the strut, the 2wd suspension is pretty much the same as the 4wd, correct?

Thanks!

 

Bump.

 

The linkage rod for the sway bar is longer on the 4x4 too(connects sway bar to LCA). As for wear you will be fine going up an inch or so. I do not know the difference between the standard/premium shocks.
