Ryan put Bilstien HD shocks on his Z71 and likes them alot. I've tried the Edelbrock shocks in the past and thought they worked well too...

What type of rancho's do you have??? I bought the RS9000 5 position adjustable shocks and I couldn't be happier w/ them. They work great. Just turn the dial to 5 for towing and off-roading and you have nice stiff suspension. Set it to 1 for everyday driving and you have a smooth ride. I usually run mine around 3 since I usually end up hauling something in the back. But, you can also get the in cab adjuster for it. They're the only shocks I've tried, but I'm very pleased w/ there performance.

I had Bilstein HDs on my 99 Serria and I really liked them. Very Good control. I am planning on putting them on my 01 Silverado.

Hey Dean,

Well, considering the way you drive, I would go with the heaviest set of shocks available on the market. However, you know I would say to get the Eddlebrock ones. By the way, I think I am going to put another set of driving lights on the truck tommorw, which means it is officially time to replace all fuses with heavy copper wire
