I just replaced the originals on my truck with 174K miles with Rancho. Summitt Racing may still have a deal, otherwise, Shockwarehouse.com Here's the thread:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...58-shocks.html
I did a lot of research and my take is Bilsteins are probably the best but also most expensive. Monroe Sensatrac are soild and economically priced, making them a good choice. Rancho RS5000 are a little more beefy. They give a good stiff ride and stout cornering but haven;t have them off road yet.
Then there are the premium and much more expensive Rancho RS 9000, Edlebrock, ect.
Post info on your truck and maybe somebody can make a better recommednation.

I run RS9000XL's, and would highly recommend them, but probably more then you want to spend since you don't wheel your truck much.

I cheaped out and bought a set of Monroe Sensa-tracs. DONT! They are ok for the road but I will be getting Bilstiens for my next set. They cost more but that's what you get.

I searched and reviewed and debated whether to go cheap or not, So im waiting on my Bilstien 5100 series to be shipped as we speak. dropped $344 bucks at summit for them.
