Kings are pretty nice. Fox are good so is Bilstien and so is Rancho, lots of good shocks out there.

I personally like the Rancho 9000XLs. I've run them on four different vehicles now and love them ride and adjustability. I've had Bilstein 5100s on my Titan. Hated them. Too stiff/harsh. For the Ranchos, look at their web supper and get the ones for their 2" lift. I think the front part numbers are RS999326 and the rear is RS999330.

I also like the Rancho 9000XL. You get a nice ride out of them.

Don't forget to look into the RRD's by Rock Krawler, these shocks are awesome.

X3 on Rancho 9000. Or if you want more of a performance shock without the harsh ride 7000

For a cheap, but very very effective upgrade, use monroe Reflex monotubes. I am running them and they are great. I have about 35k on them now.

I have bilstein 5100 and I'm very satisfied. I heard good things about OME shocks also.

Somebody from drivetech told me to not use a separate reservoir shocks (fox, king, bilstein 5160) since I ride in cold weather condition those shocks becomes very harsh in winter.
