I know my truck came with Bilstien shocks and I bet GM didn't pay retail for them either! IS there a shock BESIDES Bilstien that will do the job? What's wrong with the usual Monroe, and others?

I have always had great results from Bilstein shocks. I used some ProComps once on that bodystyle truck, but anything much larger than a miniature will contact the frame in the front, or my ProComos did. ProComps are twin tube BTW, so they are larger but not better. Rancho makes some nice shocks, so does Fox.

I'm happy with the Rancho RS9000s on my truck.  In particular, I found having the front set to "medium" was fine, but setting the rear to 1(out of 8) was better, as it was riding like a buckboard particularly when empty...

 

Some people adjust them depending on whether they are loaded/unloaded, but for me, the adjustment is a set and forget.  Make it ride as best as it can, and leave it there.  With other shocks, it's either

-I like it

-it's not bad enough to throw them away and buy another brand/model shock

Just put Bilstein 5100's on mine this past week.  Extremely impressed.  Glad I went back to Bilsteins.  Had Pro-comps on '07 Silverado.
