Default Front struts. What to buy?

03 RAM 1500 regular cab short bed. It has 167k on it and never ever had struts replaced. The rears has those 20.00 yellow ones from advance,seems to work pretty good. No more rear bounce At least for now. The oem fronts are still in the front. Im limited on funds but im tired of riding in a truck that feels like im driving the flinstones car. The struts are worn out,as well as the sway bar center bushings are trashed. What struts would best suite my situation thats reasonable but sufficient? Thanks.

P.s. truck will see little to no towing. If any towing it'll only be a small 1800lb trailer.

I'm a big fan of the Bilsteins myself and they are adjustable if you'd like to give your front end a little bit more height.

And they are very reasonable on price.

I think a lot of guys like the Bilstein 5100s but there is a shock polled thread in our FAQs at the top of this section and in the link in my signature below
