Question new shocks

I am about to replace my shocks all the way around and was wondering if I could get some ideas on what yall thought were some good brands for 4x4 use in sandy rough beach terrain.

How often are you really offroad?
If you answer, often, then look at Rancho or ProComp even. I've heard good things from the SD guys on the adjustable Rancho 9000s. Their offerings are tuned to cater to the offroad lifestyle. The valving, etc will lend to a stiffer ride, but they'll take the hammering of being offroad a little better.

If you're mostly street, with the occasional off pavement trip, then look into Bilstein or KYB.

As far as a good 4x4 shock most of the quality lift companies put out shocks to go with them and they are all pretty solid when it comes to needing a new shock. Other then that I agree with what Chandler said the rancho shocks are good and not too expensive while the procomps are better but come with an addition cost.
