Better? Better for what? Your ride? Your wallet? Your image? The environment?

Is your truck a work truck, a tow monster, a daily commuter, a family grocery-getter, a weekend warrior, an off road rig, a rock crawler, a mall crawler or something else?

Daily driver and work truck. I want a good ride because the roads around where i live and work are pretty bad and rough. I also have 3 gooseneck trailers that i pull maybe 3-5 times a month. I guess i just want a well rounded shock. I also plan on air bags later down the road to help with the trailers. I was even considering a Reservoir shock if the price isnt 2 steep.

I have bilstien 5100s in front and pro comp cheaps in rear. Which is a decent combination. Some on here reccomend the Rancho 9000's for adjustability. If you wanted to be able to tow and use for daily use might look into them. Rancho is also a sponsor here.
