I like my rough country nitro shocks.
You can get all 4 shocks with boots for 172 shipped. And they have discount codes all the time so you can get them even cheaper.

Hopefully you've had better luck than me. I had to replace all 6 bushings within 4 months and had 1 blow out within 6 months.

Do a search for Monroe Reflex shocks here and on google. Lots of favorable reviews. That's what I just ordered from Amazon after much research. I have 4 on the way for about $150 shipped.

Good luck

I have the Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners and love them. I have a dual shock mount for when I eventually go to two up front with a reservoir shock as the 2nd.

I bought Rancho RS5000's for my '72, They are great! I paid about $50 bucks each, not too bad for 2 36" and 2 32" shocks if you ask me. Also they have a lifetime warranty.
