I've always had good luck with the Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks. Bilstein are supposed to be good but they are pricey.

Im running Moneroe Gas matics. I havnt had any trouble with them. They seem to be holding up pretty good considering what I put them through hauling and towing stuff.

The RS5000are the Rancho model. They are one in the same but the rancho shocks are a little bit stiffer...

I recommend KYB Monomax if your looking for a stiff shock. They help with corner lean and do not wear out as quick in my experience with them. Definately a good deal for the price.
