Replacing OEM Shocks with Aftermarket, opinions needed

[PioneerRam]

I have a 2009 Ram 1500 ST with OEM shocks on it. They are pretty much gone right now and plan on putting some nicer aftermarket ones on. I do not rock crawl or anything crazy, I drive around town mostly but every now and then I take it on back trails, tow, deal with snow and mud or Sand at the beach.

3 inch Rough Country body lift with 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers and 1.25 leveling kit.

I have been looking at Bilstein, Rancho, and Rough Country since they are a little more in my price point. If any of you guys have experience with these and can give me an idea it would be helpful. I do not need top of the line but when I need it I want them to be able to hold up.

Out of those listed I would recommend Bilstein. I have a set of 5100 shocks all around...front adjustable and standard rear. Ride quality is a little stiffer than stock which I prefer. I've had mine installed for about 8 months and so far really like them. If you want to step up, look into FOX and IKON.

Bilsteins.

I have fox 2.0 and like them a lot, should be in the same neighborhood as the others in price. The fox replaced rough country shocks which I wouldn’t recommend. Hope that helps a little.

I did Eibachs and they've been great. same price as the Bilsteins. Same kind of driving as you without the lift.

Ranchos will ride nice. set them at# 4 for stock like ride, # 6 for a sportier ride, max when you tow/haul heavy.
