Default Quick strut recommendation

I plan on doing suspension all around this christmas time. Most likely will go with MC or one of the offerings listed in the pic. I want to keep the stock ride height and performance. I tow rarely and do not want a "quick lift" strut. Just a good replacement that retains the factory tow ratings and payload specs. Thanks!!

That Monroe 171362 (for 4X2 truck) would be my choice. It is a step up from OEM shocks.
Monroes have had a good reputation for many years. Not top of the line so not priced out of sight.
Some of the units you listed are for the 4X4.

Yeah, I just grabbed a screen shot, so both 4x2 and 4x4 will show.

I'd go with moog problem solver everything and the Monroe quick struts. That's exactly what I did a year ago. No complaints.

I am in a similar situation. My truck has the original shocks and struts at 109,000 miles and I want to replace them. Currently my truck has a strut spacer. I need to keep the lift in it for my cooper stt pros in 295/70/17. I was looking at ranch quick lift struts and shocks or I also heard of bilistein 5100's
What would you recommend? Not looking to break the bank.

Have you all had a warranty claim with Moog or Monroe? I see that they are Limited Lifetime, where KYB is Lifetime. Does that mean I need to keep proof of purchase, or is it at the discretion of the company?
