Shock recommendations?

Looking to smoothen out the ride on my 250 SCLB. I hear lots of talk about the bilstein 5100's and fox 2.0's. What would one recommend as the best for a smoother ride? Doesn't have to be one of those two, its just what i hear talked about the most.

5100s are my choice. Longtime fan of Bilstein. Never had an issue with them. I had a set of Bilsteins on my old truck that lasted 240k miles before it was totaled.

The bilstiens are a noticeable improvement over run of the mill shocks. I have never run the fox 2.0s but they are on my radar. They are about twice the price of the bilstiens but my truck may get a set!
