what shock absorbers is everybody using?

[F-100Ranger]

I'm reassembling my frame and was wondering what shocks everybody was using.

I'd like mine to be a daily driver, but be able to handle betteron the road. No off roading. The only suspension modifications I plan are putting on the disc brakes, variable rate front springs that will lower the front byone inch, and adding a front stock (1979?) sway bar.

I used Monroe on the 67 that I had. Not a performance shock, but more than adequate especially with the coil overs on the rears. I'm using Rancho 9000's on my HiBoy.

Yep, monroes. They work really well on the front.

Put good heavy duty ones on the front. These twin I-beams are hard on shocks.

I like KYB's. You can get them from Summit, I posted the numbers a while back.

Myself, I've been using the low end gas
shocks that usually run about 15-20 bux a
pop. The ones I get are white, and are made
by a major co. , but I forget which...
So far, they have been ok, but I don't need
a radical shock.. Equal to stock is good nuff
for me.. I don't do any offroading , etc..
The new gas charged shocks I've been using
are actually probably a tad better than stock,
being they didn't have them back in the 60s...
Or at least on ford trucks..

I plan on using Gabriel's when I get that far.
