Default Need advice on shocks

Hey do any of yall have any reccommendations on shocks for my truck? I drive 90% on the road and I like to give her gas in the turns on some tight roads. Are there any shocks yall would recommend? The people at STS told me Monroe Reflex but I always liked the look of Ranchos. What do you guys think? Nothing too expensive though

If you're going to lift the truck 3" via suspension I would highly recommend the longer shocks.

Been there and done that with Trailmaster SSv's. Worst shocks I could ever imagine.

Rancho RS5000! Best shock for the money. Drives nice on the street and handles well off road. Of course you can get all crazy and get the RS9000's which let you tweak the shock settings either remotely with the kit or at the shock.

If you're just going to be doing street driving, the Monroe Reflex are awesome. (Tenneco automotive makes monroe and rancho)

Hope this helps.
