I wouldn't do the Garbles.

The KYB's through Bus Deep-Oh! are only a couple of bucks more per shock.
The KYB's (to me) give a predictable, high level of quality, and great
ride.

Last year, thinking momentarily like the recovering cheapskate that I am,
we put Garbels (Gas Charged, courtesy JCWhitney) on our 1976 bus. One of
the rear one's decided to loose it's effectiveness after less than 5k. We
were five hours South of the border in Mexico. I'm sure the deep ditch we
jumped didn't help... but.

The KYB's which replace the Garbles,  were stellar, heartily handling
healthfully heaping helpings of hellacious hullabaloo.
