My 94 k1500 burban needs some new shocks, she rides like a boat on the highway. What's the best bolt in option for comfort while retaining factory, or close to it, ride height and travel? What have you guys used and what was your opinion of them?

X2 for Bilstein 4600s. Run them on both of my stock height/tire size '97s.

Well, I think it's safe to say Bilstein is the go to brand. I'm leaning toward the 4600's, I found a set of all four for $284 with free shipping on Amazon. I'm almost positive this thing is riding on original shocks, the only shock you get is to your ass when you hit a nasty bump. The drums, shoes included, were original GM stamped when I redid the brakes, the calipers were the originals too.

For the record, I heard that the 5100s ride smoother
