Rear shocks only?

It wasn't what I wanted but now the truck has got Rancho RS5000s on the fronts and Bilstein HDs on the rear. Overall this is a huge improvement over the "off-road" OEM shocks that had 56,000 miles on them, 8,000 of which with a 1300lb camper in the bed.

Got the Rancho RS5000s for the fronts installed yesterday. While not as big of a difference as upgrading the rears, an improvement nonetheless. Haven't had a chance to try them out on the highway yet, but I'm confident that there won't be anymore porpoising.

nothing wrong with having different shocks front and rear, they serve different purposes. congrats on a GREAT mod. You should have just done the rears in your driveway though, don't need a flat surface at all.
