Shock suggestions

Looking for new shocks for my 97 F250HD with the Dana 50 front. Any suggestions?

Bilstein, skyjacker, monroe, rancho, gabriel, pro comp

So many options! I don't tow anything really heavy other than landscape trailers with a few mowers. A few times a year it will be loaded down with firewood. The ones I have now are toast and the truck has 234,+++ on it and as I've stated before the PO didn't do any maintenace so I'm sure these are origional.

I'd recommend either the KYB Monomax or Bilstein's. I'd steer clear of the cheap twin-tubes.

I was leaving towards Monroe shocks so great to hear suggestions. I'm not looking for a smooth sedan ride but will I feel a difference with Monroe vs cheapo?
