Default 2003 Dodge 3500 Dually

Can someone recommend a brand of shocks for my 2003 Dodge 3500. It is not lifted and still has original equipment. I tow a 28ft rv. Around 7000lbs and 800lbs at the hitch. It is a bumper pull. the truck has 135,000 miles and is a diesel. I am leaning toward Bilsteins (4600 or 5100?)
Thanks for your input.
I'm new here. Please forgive my mistakes.

Bilstein 5100's are pretty popular with the second gen guys.

Thanks for the reply HeyYou.
I'm not sure I'm smart enough to navigate this website.
Seems overly complicated. Oh well. It's probably me.
Can you recommend a place to buy Bilsteins?
Thanks again.

Wherever you can find them at a price you are willing to pay. Ordering online generally gets you a better price, however, having to pay shipping can eat that up in short order. Also, if you get the wrong, or a bad part, you have to ship it back. I tend to just buy locally. Then, if there is a problem, I can just cruise back into the store.
