I have a 2003 dodge ram 2500HD crew cab long bed 5.7 hemi. I put a leveling kit on the front and fit BF Goodrich all terrain LT 315 75 R17. The stance is great but the ride got alot ruffer with the new tires. I still have the stock shocks so i think i need to upgrade. The truck is an everyday driver and used for work and occasional towing. So I don't want to put a radical suspension on. I am just looking for a bolt on solution. I figured to start with a shock upgrade. Any suggestions?
Fox, ProComp, Bilstein, Rancho. Just off the top of my head. But yes, you should buy extended shocks for the front after you level your truck, it really helps the ride out.

this may sound stupid but what size shocks would i need?
It depends on what size level/lift kit you end up buying. When you go to order the shocks just say what size lift you have and that you need extended shocks. They should be able to help out.
have been doing some research and i still can't decide. I was leanning twards rancho adjustable shocks but I heard they don't last long. Some people have suggested bilstine because they last long but they look crappy. Today I found Gabriel air shocks but I have not been able to find any reviews on them. Does any one have any reviews?
