Bilstein, Geno's Garage. I've got the 5100 but the next level up might be a tad bit better. These are the only shocks I've had that actually have held up for any time on any of my diesel Ram's.

X2 on Bilstein, you can find em here:

The Yellow/Blue ones are HD's and have different valving then the Silver/Black 5100's.

5100's for small lift and light loads
H/D's for stock height and heavy loads

If you want a nice firm shock try the KYB Monomax. These are very firm. You can get them at tirerack.com or your local Advance Auto store. I think they are less $$ than the Bilsteins. A lot of people like the Bilsteins though.

I have rancho 9000xl front set on 7 rear set on 5. I have had bilstein 5100 and the yellow/blue bilsteins. I like the ride better on the ranchos because you can adjust your ride.
