best shocks???

I have had Ranchero RS 5000's on my truck for about a year and a half and they feel as if I have solid blocks instead of shocks. Off road at slow speeds(full suspension travel)they work pretty well, but this truck is a daily driver and over the road you can feel every little bump. I mean if you hit a bad place in the road, it jars the entire truck. It sounds as if the dash will fall out. Ball joints have been replaced and everything else is tight. I'm running 30 PSI in the tires. It just feels like there is no give in the suspension.

I am looking for ideas on the best shock I should use. I've heard of Monroe Sensatrac, Bilstiens, and RS 9000.

Bilstiens seem to have a very good reputation. I had them on a '99 Crew Cab Chevy and they were very good. I still have factory shocks on my '02 S'crew, but I'm slowly gettin' there!
