Default REPLACEMENT Shocks for 07 Ram Quad Cab 2wd

Well I only have 4700 miles on m Ram and the front shocks are toast... What would be the best replacement shocks from the OEM...? I have been looking at the Rancho Hydro and Nitro, Edelbrock, Pro Comp, and Beltech. My driving consist of normal driving on road with medium towing (Harleys). The Roads here in Korea are terrible, speed bumps, pot holes etc...

I want to buy a good set of Shocks so that I don;t have to get them replaced every year...

Your input and help will be greatly appricated...

I was just thinking the same thing.... Bring it back to the dealer and tell them the shocks are gone... if in fact they are... they'll replace them for free....

Yes, they are under warrenty but I was wondering if I should go for aftermarket ones. I did talk to the warrenty guy and he will replace them so that is not a problem. Should I go for aftermaket ones?

Thanks

Rancho huh... I'll look into them... Yeah there is a military car sales here for the troops overseas and they sell nothing but AMERICAN MADE Vehicles to include Harley's!!! That is how I bought my Jeep Liberty, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Harley. Plus I have a Street Glide on order now...

Now I just found this onwww.Autotrucktoys.com, http://www.autotrucktoys.com/ram/Eib...8966C4672.aspxI know that the Eibach springs were good to my Talon and I was wondering if these will be good to my RAM...

Uhhhhhh, silly question for you... The front are struts and the rear is the SHock right??? or are they the same for the trucks... I was surfing and I found the Rancho http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...0A2604003.aspxand I want to make sure that I do order the right ones...

Thanks

Rams have shocks at all 4 corners..... you have coil overs in the front with leaf springs in the rear...
