ok so me and my mechinic friend cannot figure out if my truck is just shock absoubers, that we think, but is ther like a small hidden coil we're missing or something?

 

Just shocks.

 

should i get high end or mid range,i cna get two high ends for 60 or two mids ranges for 48?

 

Depends on what brand of shock you are talking about. I put Monroe Reflex shocks on the front of my Bravada. They were more stiff than the OEMs. Bilstein shocks are OEM and they are very good shocks.

 

o i live in a VERY pot hole vcovered area, and they are of good size as well so the roads are terrible, and suggestions based off of these road condtions?

 

For longevity a stiffer shock like the Monroe Reflex, KYB Monomax, or Edlebrock IAS shocks would probably last longer, but I know from putting in my Edlebrock IAS shocks that the ride got better (less body roll and no up and down motion when crossing railroad tracks) but I can feel many bumps in the road and it rides a lot more like a truck than a suburban does. I did not have the truck when i was new so I dont have much to compare it against other than other larger trucks. I think the Bilstens would be a good shock, as they are OEM and mine lasted me 135,000 miles.
