Default Best buy on Bilsteins or Ranchos????

Looking to replace original shocks on my 2008 1500 quad cab. After 205k miles I think I need a more stable ride. I rarely go off road and most drive unloaded but I do tow a 3000# (light) trailer from time to time. I do want to lift up that stock rake a couple inches as well.
So where are folks buying struts and shocks (online preferably)??? Free shipping is a plus as well.
thanks

For mostly pavement I'd go Bilstein.

I put Bilsteins on mine @ 36k and have had 0 issues, just turned 80K. They are a bit stiffer than the originals, but I'm ok with it.

Nice choice. You will surely like the performance of Bilstein's. Worth the cost.
