Shocks

Wanted to see what everybody has been using.
I'm retired and wanted to make a great choice.
Haven't been keeping up with what is what.

I got a 1999 1/2 F250 SC Lariat 7.3 4x4 .

About 6 yrs ago I put some Rancho 9000 shocks on my F250.
It don't get drove a heck of a lot. I had a 97 E350 7.3 work truck.
I really loved the E350.

My rancho shocks are worn out. When I hit a hole the front end pops.

I was talking to somebody about the Rancho shocks.
And they said they could get the Monroe Reflex shocks .
They are as good as the Rancho, except you can't adjust them.

Then I find out Monroe bought Rancho and somebody else out except the quality ain't as good as they used to be.

Somebody else was suggesting that I go with KYB shocks..

Heard KYB are good but expensive.

What is the take on it is.
Thanks for any help.

Bilstein 4600 shocks are hard to beat for a street truck, I bought mine from Summit Racing for $270. You don't get good shocks for cheap.
