Default What shocks to run

Into a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with a 2 inch leveling kit. It is a 4x4 and I was wondering what I should run up front because I definitely need new shock. Cheaper would be better if it means anything. Thanks guys.

Bilsteins. I put them on all of my Jeeps and just installed them on my 05 Ram last weekend. Excellent ride.

Monroe Reflex on my 4x2. Good ride and nice control.

We put Monroe Gas-Magnums on my dad's Ram and they work great.

I have ranchos and on the road they are good but off road or driving over a curb or something it's really rough, not that I would expect a smooth ride doing that, but it feels exceptionally bad. I've heard great things about fox, pricey but worth it

i had installed on all 4 corners KYB gas shocks on my 2008 dodge 2500 cummins. the parts guy said they would be the last set of shocks i would buy. 3years latter they still ride great . i swear by them. i also have them on my full size bronco. try them out.
