Shock recommendations

Time for new shocks. Ideas on what folks like? I'm looking at Rancho RS 9000s, unless there are better options.

350 crew cab long bed, stock height. Mostly running interstates, and paved West Virginia hills n' hollers, and some Forest Service roads with light loads, limited towing. Looking for ride comfort to get to play spots.

Oh, and also time for new sway and track bar bushings.

I had the 9000 on my other truck and never had a issue with them. I run the bilstein 5100 adjustable son the new truck.

I have never heard of an adjustable 5100. I just put a set of Rancho 9000's on my truck and the difference is night and day. Love them so far.
