Recommended 3/4 ton shock absorbers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The truck is a 1987 3/4 ton, standard cab, long bed 4x4. Oversize tires, no lift. Will be used for some limited, but heavy towing; 16 foot gooseneck cattle trailer, which will be stuffed full of either cows or a skidloader. The rest of the time it's to be a typical farm truck and personal transportation.

The engine is out of the truck; I assume it's a lot easier to replace shocks now rather than once the engine is back in. Can anyone chime in on this? How hard is it to replace front shocks on a complete truck?

Do I pick up whatever shocks are recommended by the auto parts store, or do I shop for a specific brand, type, whatever?
