I would chose either KYB or Moog. I have Rancho quick-lift struts on my 4x4 and really like the stance. Whatever you chose, you will most likely have trouble removing the bolt from the bushing on the lower control arms. Over time rust will form between the bolt and the sleeve in the bushing and beating it with a hammer doesn't work because the rubber absorbs the energy. I cut the bolt and ruined the bushing trying the remove what was left of it. I had to use an air chisel to remove the bushing. My recommendation is to buy replacement bushings and hardware and plan to rent a bushing press from a local auto parts store. Here is a kit from Rock Auto

My truck was out of commission several days longer than I planned while I waited for more parts. Good luck!

Bilstein makes much higher quality components...

HD’s if staying stock height
5100’s if leveling front
