Default Shocks

What are the best shocks in your guys' opinions? I'm looking at replacing mine, mainly to smooth out how my truck rides. I was looking at these..

9000s are adjustable right? I don't think I really need that.. plus they have to be pretty expensive

They are more expensive but you do get what you paid for, if you want the best ride I've heard a lot of good things about the 9000s. I'm sure the 5000s are a little above average and decent for the price

I run KYB Monomax and they are awesome. You can get them off amazon or rockauto.com for a decent price.

Yea I hear you. I'm just on a little bit of a tight budget and my shocks are getting a little out of hand with the ride and I really have to get on getting some new ones

They are a good price.. I guess no matter what for a good shock I'll have to spend at least $160

I had those 5000's on my 94 F150. Good ride overall and I've been thinking about getting these for my 2003.
