Shocks

I need new shocks. What is working well for yall? Ride quality is more important to me than load handling.

I hear good things about Bilstein.

I went with the KYB GR2's when I did mine a few months ago. Ride quality is a lot better than stock. (Stock did have 170k miles on them though.

A few years back I put on four Bilstein and the tires in the front were wearing bad. The alignment shop said the gas shocks are no good with me pulling a load and to use oil shocks. I was busy at the time and upset about what he told me so I just said put on what you think is the best. Two years now and not a single wear problem. l'm not even sure what brand he put on the front, they are dark blue and I think Monroe?
