Want to replace my shocks my truck has about 155k on her and they have never been replaced. She's got a nice raked look that I don't want to loose. Front is stock height and rear is maybe an inch or two higher that stock (because of the helper springs) what do you guys recommend? I don't want stock shocks cause I don't really like the ride. But I don't really wanna mess with the look it has, what do you guys think?

Many options for shocks that are the stock height. Shop around. Bilsteins, rancho, just to name a couple.

I heard a lot of good things about the blistien 5100 series are those stock height? I'm not trying to be a pain I just found that there really is so much to choose from with truck parts in general that it's hard to settle in "that's the part I'll buy" without hearing feedback from those who have used them before.

You can set them to a couple of heights, but there is a stock level (zero lift) setting. I believe bilsteins also makes a version that's at a set stock height for a little cheaper.

Try Shock wharehouse. They have a lot on the site.

I been very happy with Monroe Sensa-Trac Load Adjusting Shock Absorber. I just towed a 1997 24ft travel trailer for my parents (short distance) that weighted in around 4500 to 5000 lbs (just under 6k gross) and the truck barely squatted (basically leveled it out from the standard rake) and I have a hard tonnue and about 200 - 250 lbs in the bed normally. And when not loaded they ride nice, I also use them in my mini-van and it rides well with them even unloaded. In short very very happy with them, strongly suggest for any one that is all stock and tows once in a while or what's an upgrade from stock.

Monroe Reflex are the best shocks I have put on a truck. I have put them on a lowered Superduty and a 4x4 Excursion. They rode great.
