Talking ebay shocks???

In the past I would only look for union made, then i settled for made in USA, NOW who knows where it's made?????????......I've been surprised to find "made in china"....stamped on a good old USA product.........now I'm not surprised at all!!!........so....

Has anyone tried these shocks???.......how do i know they aren't made by bilstein in china??........for crying out loud!!

I just want a grandpa ride.......probably will never get to rough anymore....

thanks Red.....I've been searching .........[about warn out]......I did a lot of research when i needed shocks for my motorhome and settled on kyb.........they have performed very well under the 454.....bounder......

I think i've decided on 344042 KYB Excel-G GM S-Series........
my next question.......why the red????......maybe Red Sled did it ;-)

oh well.........i never have ordered from rockauto or shockwarehouse.......they both are the same price for a set of 4..........$104

does anyone have a preference???
