With a soild axle truck I wouldn't expect anything close to independent suspension however, here's a few options that will soften the blow;
1. Brabus Ride Control Suspension Kit
2. Brabus Springs & Shocks
3. OEM G500/550 Springs & Shocks

Thanks for your help.I'm thinking of swaping them with G500 shocks. But what about year model? all the same like 04 05 or not?Should I swap springs as well or not needed??

I would go with the latest 550's. And yes, you'll need springs, shocks and an alignment.

I think the springs are the same.
