Rear Shock reccomendations

Hey guys, I have a 2000 F250 4wd, Powerstroke. I need new rear shocks. I tow pretty much all the time, about 6500 lbs. I want a decent shock but don't need the best either but given what I'm towing and that I'm towing a lot, what do you all recommend?

Thanks

I just installed Rancho 9000's. I like the option of adjusting the shock settings depending if I'm empty or loaded. Plus I got a $100.00 rebate too!

Rancho RS9000XL. Had them for a few years now and have been very happy with them. They are adjustable so I can dial them in to my liking whether empty, loaded, or towing.

Another Bilstein user here. 5100s front & rear. Had the Rancho 9000xls & the adjusters corroded to the point that they would no longer move after 2 Midwest winters & the piston rods corroded badly & took the seals out.
