Shocks/Strut Suspension 4th Gen 1500 Express RWD STOCK recommendations

[903E]

I need some recommendations on replacing suspension parts. I am wanting to do a full suspension and steering parts upgrade. Would love to go OEM on everything but wanting to save a dime or 2. I’ve looked at the Bilstein shocks/struts so I want to see what y'all think about ride quality etc. Also need control arms, ball joints, inner/outer tie rods. Ive been told to look at 1a auto and rockauto. Any other recommendations on where to look? I just want stock ride quality. Maybe a little upgraded but don't need anything heavy duty or anything. Truck is a daily driver to work and occasionally hauling junk or whatever the wife finds to pick up lol. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Wouldn’t go with 1a auto parts unless you don’t mind working on your truck year to year. Rock auto atleast gives you some different options as far as quality goes but with quality comes a little more cost. I’ve used Detroit axle parts and 1a auto on different vehicles and the ram and yes they worked and price was low but life span of the new parts was significantly lower by lower I mean if daily driving the vehicle leave your tools out that you used to put the parts on with for you’ll be using them in a couple months again. Rock auto has options ranging from low cost low quality to higher cost better quality to choose from. Customer service on the other hand if you get a bad part well that’s non existent in my experience.

Lot of the options on rockauto are more expensive, but a lot of the time the "quality" parts are just new OEM as opposed to cheap aftermarket. Comparing OEM price from RA vs a lot of other places, RA is usually a pretty good deal.

What issues are you having that make you think you need to rebuild the complete front end on a 2 wheel drive truck.
How many miles are on it.
