I like Bilsteins, but of those I like Monroe Gas Magnums. Not a fan of KYB.

I wore out my Bilsteins. Wasn't that impressed with them. The last set of Monroe's I tried gave me a bad shock out of the box. Ruined a tire, but they gave me a new shock for free. The high end Gabriel was just as good, if not better than the Bilstein for me. I'm currently running the high end KYB and it's been great for the last year.

I have to agree Chris the Bilsteins did not last for crap on my dually. When i lifted it and replaced the shocks i was surprised at how "soft" they were
