New Shocks

I recently found out that my Bronco needs a new set of shocks (well front only, but i'm gonna do them all at once.) So my question is, what is a good brand of shocks for the Bronco series. The ones on here now are old carquest shocks which I know couldn't be worth more than 20$ a piece. Price really isn't an option and at the moment the truck would be used for just highway/street driving, no off-roading. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Truck is a 94, still stock weight.

Most seem to like Rancho's or Procomps, for both on and offroad.

The Pro Comp ES3000 or ES9000 shocks would be a good choice, price under $40 each. I had the 9000's on my Bronco for nearly a year before the lift kit install. The CarQuest and Monroe Magnum shocks are junk, IMO. I have broken everyone within a few months whenever I tried to save $$$. You get what you pay for, and the Pro Comps have a GREAT warranty.

Bilstiens are the way to go. I've also used Rancho 5000 and 9000's, Gabriels, Monroes, Other Assorted No-Name Brands. I'd recommend Bilstien 100%.
