I've got a 94 K1500 w/ the Z71 offroad package. I was interesting if anyone had any pointers regarding putting some new shocks on. The last load I took was a little over a ton, and it was far too low in the back. And whoever had this thing before me did almost NO maintanance. So i'm sure the shocks/struts are past due. So here's the q's - Is there a specific shock I need to get for my model, considering I do a little bit of load carrying. If I go to say, napa and give em the truck info, will they give me the proper part? (gas, air, load adj...etc) Also can I put different types or manufactures struts on the back than the front? It doesn't make sense to me to put load adjusting shocks or something on the front of it.
