I have always been a rancho fan. I have yet to replace my shocks on the SD- but have talked to several stores on what they think. Whatever you do don't go with a cheap shock.. get a good rancho or the new pro-comp because they make these for the vehicles weight.. not one size fits all. The rancho rs9000's seem to be a winner, and i have only heard good things about the new pro-comp monotubes- they'll run 350$ for 4

I put the Rancho RS5000s on my 88 diesel and they were a great improvement. I give em two thumbs up.

From what I've heard, the Rancho 9000's are the way to go, since they give you so many adjustment options.

The Rancho 9000X's are adjustable from inside the cab (front and rear independant).

I have put on the Edlebrock IAS shocks, they work pretty well.

The other favorite is the Bilstiens.

I've heard that the Rancho 9000's are the best. Because of the $ I went with Bilsteins, but have not been dissapointed. I finally figured that 130,000 miles was enough for the factory shocks.
