Front shocks 81 k20

Need new front shocks for my '81 K20 with 4" Dick Cepek springs.

Looking for something that isnt going to make it stiffer than it already is.

I have old Rancho shocks on there now. One has been leaking bad, shot

Maybe just Ranchos again or.... Its just a putter I take care of, I dont thrash it off road

Recommendations ?.. moderate pricing....

Re: Front shocks 81 k20

I have Rancho 5000s on the front and 9000s on the back

One front is old and shot

Hmmmm,, Rock Auto has a nice selection. even rancho and kyb with 4" lift

What the heck is the difference between a RS5001 and a RS55001?

Bilsteins. Totally worth the money. Tamed my Rough country springs. Like night and day. Worth every penny.
