do you really want to have to go down under your rig to change the dial all the time.a good all around performing should should be all you need for normal wheeling and mall cruising.lol.i like my racho 5000s and they were only 40 bucks appiece.
 
I had no problems with my Pro-Comp ES3000 shocks. Either that or like chuliso said, Rancho RS5000's. They're both about the same in my opinion.
 
Have you looked at superlift scratch and dent
 
No but I will take a look. One thing I was thinking about the adjustable is I could set them real stiff on the road to help with body roll and real soft offroad.
 
Wow they have some STEALS on scratch and dent!!! Unfotunatly none of what they have will help me out with the set up I have now. If anybody needs some Ubolt then they have alot of sets going for around $40. Good deal if you ask me.
 
Get a monotube shock. Both you listed are twin tube shocks. From my experience they fade fast offroading and your left with "bobblehead". I recommend Bilstien's, Poly's BBCS's, or any emulsion shock (fox, king, ect). For the money and performance, I recommend the Polyperformace BBCS's that are valved for leaf springs.

Just for reference, I've owned procomp es3000, es9000's and rancho's. All twin tube technology. Converted to Fox remote resiviour shocks and revalved them and ohh what a difference.
 
I run Bilstein 5125's out back and 5150's up front. They're great shocks and not all that expensive, plus like 79chevyk10 brought up you'll like having mono-tube shocks. You can mount them in whatever position you want and they don't fade...

I ordered mine from a vendor on Pirate...
