Hello,

Bilstein 5100 should work well for your app. Do not get the Ranchero products. If you really want the best look into King shocks. Custom valved about 350 each plus hardware.

I have read a lot on here that the Bilsteins are good shocks. I have also read not to by the Rancheros. I bought the Bilsteins and I am happy with them.

I would have to say I second the Bilstein shock recommendation. I wouldn't pay $350 each though......I have l lot better things to throw my money at than that.
