I'm looking at the prices of the adjustable shocks, starting at $190 each. Is it worth $800 to do the vehicle?

I'm curious from the users that have gone from non to single/double adjustable what their experiences have been.

I know they will give better tuning but $800-$1200 worth?

Also, I've got a 67-70 C-10 with cool ride on front with leaf/air-over-leaf on the rear.

What are you planning on doing with the truck?

No autocross, no major towing or hauling.

So basically cruising and spirited driving on off/on ramps. I live in Oklahoma, let's be honest, there's just not that many curves.

I'll probably get a 1 1/4" sway bar for the front and a few guys have been putting on f-body sway bars in the rear so I'll give that a try probably.

It is not about curves, it is about ride quality. the adjustable shocks let you dial it in just the way you want it.

I highly recommend the upgrade.

The single adjustable will be fine for what you are doing.

Thanks Darren. I'll add it to the list of upgrades once I get it going down the road.
