Shocks?

joeymay said:

Hey, I have a 2002 Frontier XE 2.4l, and I was wondering what are the best shocks for everyday driving. I need shocks that give a smooth ride since I use my truck for work. I replaced my stock shocks with some cheap autozone ones and the ride is very bumpy. I was thinking about getting Bilstein's. Any suggetions? Thanks!

I think more information is needed before making a suggestion.

How do you define "bumpy" when using those cheap Autozone shocks? Are you talking small-bump compliance (like driving on a freeway) or big hit impacts (like speed bump size)?

What was wrong with the stock shocks? In other words, assuming they were in fine working condition, what didn't you like about their ride characteristics?
