Shock Absorber help!

Hey there. I own a 1994 F150 that is due for some struts. (or shocks). Ive been looking at Ranchos and also some parts store options, and i was wondering what shocks you guys would reccomend for comfort. My truck is 2 Wheel Drive and rarely sees a trailer, so stiffness is not a major concern for the rear. What have you guys run with success, that adds comfort?

Thanks - Ike

Stay away from cheap. They may only last 2-3 years, 10k miles at most.

I order from RockAuto and got KYB, Gabriel's for my '92, 4wd, '95, 4wd, 2000 Expedition 4wd.

For you pay at the parts store for one, you can pay the same and some shipping for 2.
