I know I LOVE my Blistien 5125's on my Toyota. Thats what I plan to run on the Dodge eventually. So I would just go measure the stroke of your current shocks and buy those and then retrofit the shocks mounts as required.

i honestly dont think a "good shock" would make any difference in the way my truck rides. i doubt my springs even flex unless i have a good sized load on it

Thumbs up

Well I I've installed the Rancho RSX1700's and have realized a marked improvement in ride quality. Perhaps the old Monroe's were worn more than I thought.

Thanks for the input folks.

Glad you're happy with them Am I the only one who noticed the full Kelderman system (front and back) for w-250 in the classifieds? If my truck weren't such a POS, I'd be all over that for 1300...
