Ive got rancho 5000 series on my truck and there great. very stiff in cold weather though. ( noticed your from tx so you dont have to worry about that ) If you do any towing/hauling, dont get the monroe. They dont support the load very well and will wear out quicker. There basically just an over the road shock.

I typically use Procomps on my 4wd trucks. I have ES3000s on my 99 Z71 and had ES9000s on my lifted 86. I've kept Gabriel LTVs on my 94 2wd, pretty harsh empty but hold a load nice without any residual bounce.

Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you sell air shocks?
We are not currently selling any air shocks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are the heavy duty shocks designed for hard use or made as an all around shock?
Bilstein heavy duty shocks are very suitable for both on and offroad use. They may be stiffer than your OEM shocks, but should give you a better feeling of control and stability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the main difference between the different settings?
Comfort setting shocks would be very much like the original shocks for your car. Heavy Duty will be somewhat stiffer and give your car a stiffer and more controlled ride. Sport setting shocks are 30% stiffer than Heavy Duty and are usually used with lowering springs for very hard driving and competition. We recommend Heavy Duty shocks for most applications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I find the part number for the Bilstein shocks that came with my vehicle?
The part number should be stamped onto the body of the shock. If a casual inspection doesn't turn it up, I'd give a dealer a call and ask him what the OEM shocks are.
