Default Need recommendations for shocks

Hi Guys

It's a '03 1500, 4.7L 4X4 standard cab short box.

I need to change all the shocks (a REAL bouncy ride now!) and I'm asking for feedback/recommendations on the best solution.

A couple of things to consider: While there's not a LOT of off-road driving, I nevertheless have to drive a lot on really poorly maintained roads - lots of bumps and the odd unexpected pot-hole. I also need to haul some pretty heavy loads frequently, be it up to ten 50kg sacks in the box, and I may soon be hooking up a trailer to haul long cuts of lumber.

One additional comment: the truck has been leveled with a set of 2" keys.

I really need some recommendations on the front (struts?) and rear, including sizes taking into consideration the fact that the truck has been levelled.

Thanks, fellas

This thread should give you good ideas on good shocks.

Check Rancho shocks like 9000XL adjustable since yours is leveled.
