If its for regular use then monroe or gabriels are fine. If you want something a tad sturdy Ranchos are great IMO.

Here's what we carry for your vehicle - http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index....cted_year=2005.

The Ranchos will be much more expensive.

That loocks god too.
I ame intresting in leviling it, dont whant to lift it all over. only the front.
So I have 2 choses. the blistin & ranchos.

Hear what I found and corect my if I am wrong.

Ranchos:
1) 2 in front lift (livling it)
2) 9 position damping siting (softer than stok to firmer than stock)
3) If fited withe the remote then can ajust on the fly witheout giting out from the truck.

Blistin:
1) 2 in front lift (livling it)
2) Firmer than stock damping.

Did anyone trede dothe and can shad a light on how thy preform. On and Off road.
Dont whant to go the spaser rote. I know it is cheaper.
