Default Best Shocks for 2006 Hemi Ram driving on flat roads

Dear All,

I just broke one of my front suspension shock. I need to replace them.
I have been looking posts on this forum but no luck. I also have another problem - I am located in Poland and my language is not perfect so sometimes do not understand some parts in posts.
I need front shocks for :

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Sport version Double Cab.

It's not lifted, no modifications were done.

I am driving 80 % on roads. sometimes I hit light terrain and some mud.
What are the best shocks in reasonable price. I would like to get front shocks for approx 150usd if this is possible.
My last question - does version SPORT come with different shocks.

p.s. if possible - please put some links to direct shop or provide part symbol if possible. CHeers

Many people who own 4x2 trucks or 4x4s who do not go off-road much opt for the Monroe Sensa-Trac. Very moderately priced shock, nitrogen filled to handle the weight of a quad cab truck.

You could opt for a Rancho or Bilstein, but they would be overkill for your application and probably not within your budget anyway.

@HammerZ71 - thank you for a quick reply !
I found Bilstein Service in Poland
One shock is about 80usd - adjusted to your needs ! I will go for it but need Shock specification. If anyone has got front shock specification (measurments) for
2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi 4x4 sport it would be a great help to me.
