Replacing old shocks

Best.........that depends on planned use of the truck. Bilstein's 5125 for a mild street/trail rig. Then King or Fox reservoir shocks for a more aggressive truck. If your looking at high speed offroad with a lot of air time, you may be looking for some multiple bypass Kings or Foxs.
Budget plays a big part, but dont skimp. 5125 Bilstein's are the lowest I will ever do again, made a huge difference in the ride and control of my truck at every speed. I've even got them on my tow rig.
Next offroad shocks will be Kings for me, but then again I tend to be a little agressive in my driving.
Posting these questions in the garage forum will probably get you alot more replies

I went with the Tuff Country's the first round, and I will never go that route again. The Bilsteins are well worth the money, and will last you a lot longer.
I just came across a great deal on some Fox 2.0's and they are awesome. Maybe a little overkill for what I do, but for the money I couldn't pass.
