Shocks?

Shocks?
Other than the Bilstein 5100 shock, are there other shocks that give the Excursion a plush "Cadillac" ride? Not literally Cadillac, but the old time description a lot of us used to say how great a ride it was.
As I understand it, the Bilsteins are a bit too firm for my taste, and a little bit "jarring" going over expansions joints and some slightly rough roads.
What are some Shocks for stock ride height Excursions that some of you like?

I have Monroe Gas-Matic LT on my truck. They were great for me. I think the Gas-Magnum would be fine too. I had Rancho 9000s on my last truck and they looked good but were too firm even on their lightest setting. I have heard good things about shocks from Accutune Offroad since they actually adjust the shocks for the vehicle, but you will be paying several hundred to a thousand dollars.

It may prove difficult to make a SUV that was built from an old truck to not ride like an old truck, but we can always try right? I enjoyed my Rancho 9000s on my same vintage F250 I had previously. Since "ride" is a subjective term, the adjustability of the 9000s allowed me to dial it in the way I liked. They were particularly helpful when towing.....stiffen them up the rear to get rid of bouncing/porpoising. Their softest setting was smooth over the small stuff but underdamped for bigger bumps/rough road. Their hardest setting was harsh over the small stuff, but could soak up some big hits. I usually had them somewhere in the middle/ hard setting. I have a set of Bilstein 5100s and Procomp springs waiting to be installed. If they are too harsh or soft, I'll be going back to the Rancho 9000s.
