Rancho Shocks

I would like to up grade my shocks and I am planning a very bumpy trip. What of the tow rancho shocks will be better for my 2003 Ranger XLT 4x4: RSX or the RS5000LT?

Please let me know

I have run both, the RSX is one rigid shock, you will probably like the ride better with the RS5000, they are not quite as stout as the RSX's, don't get me wrong the RS5000 are no slouch, just not quite as rigid as the RSX's -

I just put a pair of the RS5000's on my 95 Extended cab this weekend and I love the ride. Not too harsh, but the truck doesn't rock around after hitting a bump with the worn out factory shocks.
