I've heard a lot of people on here say they like bilstein, rancho or the other premium brands. Once I get to where I wanna spend more money, I'm going with the rancho rs5000 shocks. 4 wheel parts has a deal where you can get all four any length for about 170

I got rough country shocks. go to their website and they tell you what sizes you will need. I love the rough country shocks. I got the 9000 series I think they were $35 a shock? not a bad price.
