Im gonna go with Rancho RS5000's here, they are what I have on my truck, and were only $225 installed by the local off-road shop, the RS9000's are nice because they are adjustable..but who wants to go down under the truck and mess with it everytime you go off-road?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-Jan-01 AT 11:43 PM (EST)[/font][p]For normal everyday use I'd say just go with any basic name brand shock. Definitely get one with a lifetime waranty like Monroe, especially if you only do a lot of street driving. If you don't go crazy with your truck often, the brutal off road brands will have a bunch of funcionality you don't need.

hope my rambling helped...

P.S.: KevinT, you know the RS9000's have an in-cab adjustment system, right?

I have the RS-9000's on my truck, but I don't have the incab adjustor for it. These are great shocks, and I recommend them highly, but you should get the incab setup.
