Default Need replacement strut advice

Hello everyone, I have an 09 king ranch sc 4x4 with 6.5 foot bed. Truck has 147,000 on it and it's time for suspension replacement. I have already bought new KYB gas adjust shocks for the back. They came in last Wednesday. Now I need strut advice. I have it narrowed down to the KYB GR2 complete strut, or the Rancho quick lift loaded strut. I know the ranchos say they will lift 2 inches. When I measured my truck, there is 1.5 inches rake between the front and back. I don't really want a nose high stance, and I do occasionally tow and haul things. The ranchos also have 9 position adjustable dampening. That's a plus. I have also looked at the kyb gas adjust strut cartridge, but once I buy all the replacement pieces, it's more expensive than the two other struts I have listed. Both of the above shuts are around $159 at Rock auto. I appreciate the input everyone. Thanks in advance.

If it's between those 2, I would choose Rancho.

But Have you looked into the Bilstein 5100's??

The Bilstein are ride height adjustable and I believe they are the best replacement strut.
