Default 2005 Ram 3500 Shock Absorbers

I just installed a set of airbags to help level the truck a bit when pulling the 40' Fifth wheel and noticed the truck still has the original Dodge shocks. The bushings still all appear to be in good shape, but with over 175,000 I want to replace them. What has been a good shock for these trucks? I don't pull a trailer daily, but we do tow the fifth wheel and I also pull around a tractor on a 20' low boy. Ride comfort doesn't bother me either.

You may have already purchased shocks but Bilstein 5100's are what a lot of people run. I myself have the 4600's on my gasser, but the 5100's will be my choice for my diesel.
