4 Road Ryder Gas Supreme (aka Gabriel) installed for $175 on the '88 with a lifetime parts & labor replacement warranty @ Les Schwab.

Big difference, as I expected, since the shocks may have been the OE's...

I don't believe I'm going to worry about how long they last, although I have had Gabriel shocks on other vehicles for years with no problems nor any need for replacement.

Just my $0.02's

Cheers!
