Monroe sensa trak, or for a little more, rancho rs5000, I always used the rancho but its not in the budget for my 92 so I went with the sensatraks, good ride. Dont go with the $15.00 shocks, I have them on my ranger and its like there are no shocks, just a little control.

I have whatever the lifetime guaranteed shocks are at Autozone. Gabriel I think. They work fine and I carry a bunch of tools in the back.

I am in need of shocks for my truck also, and this post got me to do some research online.
I was wanting Rancho RS5000 and found that Rancho is offering a rebate on their products. Also, I found a website where I bought four RS5000 shocks for my truck and got free shipping for $166.60. I also got the $50.00 mail in rebate. So I will only have $116.60 in the shocks after the rebate.
