The grey ones are a monotube performance shock looks like it has 6 inches of travel and it's
More targeted for straight offroad use probably a very stiff highway/city dive

The red and white 8000's are the same just with different height specs on the truck more of a highway city comfort ride

The other red and white and more geared for on and offroad use still 8000's just an greater travel distance (I got those)

My truck sees 80% highway and city but I still like to take my truck offroad too

I think I'll get the ones you have because that sounds about what I do, about 80% onroad an about 20% offroad
