I've been running KYB gas adjust on all my vehicles for the past 25 years. Shocks on my stuff need to do one thing, keep the tires on the ground. For the price, performance and warrenty, the KYB's do what they need.
I have not had a KYB go bad or have to exchange one yet. I sold my 78 Ramcharger to my youngest daughter that I put KYB's on in 1985. They still have excellent pressure.
Used to have good luck with Monroe and Gabriel but seemed like in the early 80's they got cheap and didn't last only a few years before they got soft or started leaking. I stick with what works so it's been KYB since.

Edit: I cannot believe I said I run Ranchos on my PSD. I won't run another set after dealing the their junk on my Jeep. BILSTEINS FTW. Edited.

I need to doshocks on my truck at some point...especially because it looks like one of the rear shock mounts is in danger of rusting through.
Does no one here like Monroe? I had actually been looking at their Sensa-Tracs last year or so but never actually bought anything.

Which for a smoother ride
My 2019 f250 has the snowplow package and it is really rough riding on anything but smooth pavement. Can I improve the ride with the any of the shocks discussed without changing the front springs?
