Default Need new shocks... Fox shocks?

So, I was gonna get some new shocks. And I was thinking about throwin on some fox shocks. Does anyone have experience with these, would it provide a benefit to me just having the shocks by themselves (better ride quality, take bumpy roads better, etc.)?

Depends on the internal valving of them, you can tune the shocks to ride how you want

Oh ok, so I guess my question I'm trying to get at is- will I notice a difference, and is it worth it? As appose to just getting some OEM replacements.

Yes you will. and they may be 200 now, but you can service and rebuild them instead of buying a new set when these wear out.

My shocks on my stock sierra make it ride like a Cadillac.

When I threw the links up, one was front and one was rear. Now it both says front. Oh well, figure it put on your own.
