I have the bilstien 5100 on mine. They are pretty nice. Had them for a couple of years. I bought them because of reputation and price. If the rs9000 had have been cheaper id went that way. I am happy with my decision. I got all 4 shocks and a steering stabilizer at around 90k. The truck is now at 121k ish.

If your pulling heavy EVERY day, I'd go with KYB mono max, great warranty and they handle great for the money. If not go with Rancho RS 9000 adjustable got them on my truck.

I like the adjustability of my RS 9000s. Hook onto my camper and crank them up. It helps lots. Before these it came with pro comp shocks. Man were they stiff.

If you tow most of the time or all the time, the RS7000 are great. I have them on my 2006 SB CC 4X4. If you only tow occasionally, get the RS9000. Can't go wrong with either one, just depends on if you don't mind getting under there to turn the selector on the 9000's.
