Default Shocks

What are the best quality shocks for our trucks? Something reasonable. The truck has 170k and is still on the stock shocks so I figured it was time to get some new ones. Ill also be doing an aal here soon.

Do you do a ton off off roading?

If not, stick to Monroe Sensatracs or reflexes. They will provide the most comfortable ride (I have the sensatracs).

Otherwise RS5000 are pretty good, but are more for off road.

Depending on how long you want your new shocks to last and what you use them for(town driving, off roading, mudding, etc.) Really depends on which shock "will be best" the Rs5000's are known to wearout after about 12000 miles where as a beilstein I hope I spelled that right. Will last much longer and is a comfortable ride with plenty of support for hauling loads also.
