Help me choose the right shocks.

I have a 1985 C10 Stepside with stock ride height and have been recently looking for the best deal on shocks while still getting a somewhat decent shock.

I have shopped around and found that I can get 4 KYB Excel-G shocks for $50.81
Or I can get 4 Gabriel Ultra shocks for $58.88

If I could get some input on what would give me the nicest smoothest ride on a budget, it would be much appreciated, or any other shocks I should consider instead. Thanks.

Re: Help me choose the right shocks.

On a budget, I'd go with the KYB's. If you can spring for more, it's tough to beat Bilstein for the money.
