I know this is an old thread.. But
I have a 1991 2WD ram and it has factory shocks. I only put rear KYB's on it and the change is dramatic. Both KYB and Bilstein's are life-time warrentee (as well as many other brands) to the orginal owner. My first choice would have been Koni's as I've found they tend to have dampening and rebound rates which are sporty yet not overly harsh.
Me like most, only are comparing a worn out shock to new.. really hard to judge which is "best". I saw a vw forum where a guy tested a new factory strut and took it apart and several replacements. And it was the rebound rates which varied so much in the replacements.

Found a good choice for shocks.........
Went down to my local Les Schwab and checked out the RMX monotube performance shock. I believe a DTR member on here recommended them (MarkSmith). The Les Schwab representitive told me that these shocks are very similiar to the Bilstiens. He highly recommended them for my application. The price was good and the shocks are lifetime warranty.
