Be careful on the Billsteins! (C10 is shorter wheel base and not as heavy as the k2500) I'd rather have them as well because of quality. But they are gas charged. Ride in the rear will be super stiff.

The CPP's have a large diameter piston and are oil. (See pic above with note on how to mount)

The number one way to go is the Ride Tech's with adjust ability. You can turn the dampening down for the rears when not loaded. But that's big $$$.
