Rancho RS 5000s...skyjacker nitros...if you'd like an adjustable shock, you can go with the Rancho RS 9000s. Go with the adjustables if you can stretch that far. Do you have a lift at all? What vehicle?

Autozone, has some nice Monroe's, that are guaranteed for life. 27.99 for the front, and 32.99 for the rears. These were the prem. grade and I have no lift and they hold my truck to the ground really nice.

If you're going to go with monroe, you'll need the reflex shocks, which are over 60 bucks a piece. A lot of people buy sensa-tracs which are not stiff enough for a truck, more for a car.

Sears recently ran a sale on the Monroe gas shocks. Bought 4 for $50 and they are great on the truck. Not stiff which is good if you mainly do on-road driving.
