looking to replace my stock shocks front and rear. nothing fancy just need some new ones, i have a 2000 gmc yukon 2wd with 24" rims (if that matters) stock suspension. i do carry quite a bit of extra weight with the sound system and i occasionally pull a small trailer with small loads. was looking at getting the gabriel guardians or a similar monroe shock. what are your opinions and experiences with these. i dont have alot of dough so $20 a shock seems tempting. any other inexpensive choices out there that will will give me a nice smooth ride?

cant speak for the gabs but monroe are garbage IMO had two sets of these b4 i lifted and only reason i bought them was so i could save money for my lift they ride ok but wear out fast i think the first set wore down in 30k miles then got REAL spongy

what symtoms do i look for anyway, i do have a pretty bumpy ride and even going slow over railroad tracks it gets bumpier than it should. i figured it were the shocks because they are the stock shocks and the truck has over 210,000 miles on it.
