Need new shocks With 6" lift

looking for new shocks to replace the ones I have with the 6" lift. The ride quality lately has gone down hill. What are you guys running?

I'm running the nitrogen shocks that come with the lift I bought from Zone Off-road. They ride great and I don't hesitate to recommend them

Bilstein 5100's huge improvement over the crappy shocks that came with my lift kit just don't expect them to turn a heavy duty truck into a air ride cadillac and you will be happy.

Thanks guys! No I don't expect it to ride like a Cadillac, I've just noticed slowly that it's turned into riding like a loaded turnip truck. I'm pushing 10 years on that lift so it's definitely time for a shock upgrade

Fox 2.0 res w/Carli valving for me..

Next time around I'm going to give King Off Road shocks a shot have read nothing but good about them..

Rancho 9000's are suppose to be real good from what I read also..

5100's on my last F250, F150, and the Hummer.........real good shocks..
