Don't buy the cheap white painted ones from oreilly. They are terrible. It rode ok for about a day. Big waste of money. Next set for me will be the Monroe Reflex shocks.

I am running some Bilsteins on the front of mine, but using a pair from Bell Tech on the rear. My truck is a SWB and lowered 2/4, and that made the rear shocks an issue.

www.shockwarehouse.com was my source for the Bilstein's, and it was only after I received them, that I learned Bilstein doesn't make the correct shock for my installation. Since I was rude to them on the phone, I decided to just hang onto the ones that don't work for my truck and maybe sell them on, later. Or, i could opt for a set of extensions and run them on my truck at a later date.

I have always gotten good service out of Monroe. I usually buy Sensa Tracs or the Gas Matics.
You can go to the O'Reillys auto parts site and view dozens of shock brands and all sort of price ranges for comparisons.
