Bricknose shock options?

I' just wondering what's out there for a high quality shock that fits properly on a Bricknose or OBS truck? I've always just bought Bilstein 4600s because they seem to last and don't cost a fortune. My CCLB is bumpy MFer and am looking to smooth things out a little bit. The adjustable Ranchos seem gimmicky but maybe I'm wrong. Any recommendations?

Same. Either KYB or Motorcraft.

Your signature line shows a 3/4T and a 1T truck. There is only so much you can do. They aren’t going to ride like a car or newer truck. Standard replacement is what you want. Definitely not an “off road” shock which will make it worse.

I prefer Bilstein. They were available for my dually a few years back. KYB are decent.

Thanks for the replies--pretty much confirms what I've found. Never tried KYB but I'll give 'em a look.
