Default New shocks

Well, it's time for new shocks for the truck in my sig. Any recommendations? I drive mostly gravel. Tow a skidloader and trailer that weighs around 9k lbs a few times a month. Drive off road on the farms some too. The truck is a 4x4. Was looking at Bilstein HD or Rancho 5000s, any others I should consider?

I think that the hds are a stock replacement. But don't hold me to that.

After looking over the options and user recomendations, I am going to go with Rancho 9000's

the Rancho MT7000s are a heavier duty shock. stick with a montube shock, stronger than dual piston. Bilsteins come in 4600 and 5100 with 5100 the better monotube of the 2. not for sure if they even make the 4600 for the F150.

I put Fox 2.0 shocks on the back of mine and I really like them. I think I paid $114 a piece.

C'mon. Hd bilsteins 4600 are for sure available (on my truck). They are far better than stock
