Monroe vs Gabriel Shocks
Looking for some new shocks, I want a firm ride, not mushy or boat like. I know that biksteins are the best but there is now way that I can afford them anytime soon. Autozone has gabriel which is in direct competition with Orielly with monroes. It is my dd and i do haul and go hunting. Any feed back would be great.

How bad do you need to replace your shocks? If not that bad honestly wait and save for the bilsteins. They are amazing. The difference of
Just going from 13 year old/50k mile stock shocks to brand new bilsteins was amazing and I can only imagine what they would do for any truck with worse shocks than my oem
