Default towing shocks, suspension.

I need to replace the shocks on my 2000 Durango 5.9 with towing package. I do alot of towing. I was looking at rancho shocks, kyb. Anyone use Tokico shocks? I was looking at these: http://www.performancecenter.com/pro...00/Durango/4WD
My truck is a little squirmy going down the road in the rear, not sure about any swaybar or bushing upgrades, good towing tires.
Thanks

If you want a good solid shock go with bilsteins. They are stiff but they handle great and I'm sure when towing you would have a much nicer drive especially through the turns.

There are several good shocks to choose from. Pro Comp, Rancho, Bilstien and Fab-Tech are just a few that are great for every day driving as well as towing and off-road. Good Luck.
