Monroe make pretty good shocks that have ride quality closer to oem. The reflex are what I have in my older truck and I'm happy and I've run their sensatracs in the past, but I'm not sure they still make them. Bilstein seems to be the shock of choice around here, but they are pricier. Depends what you have and what you're looking for.

Just really looking for something of great quality and that will last a good while. I'll do some research on monroe's and bilstein to see the comparison and go from there. Thanks for the reply

I have Monroe reflex shocks in front their lower end gas shocks in the back... I regret the difference in model I'm leveled so my ride quality isn't bad but not as good as it could be were I not leveled

Bilstein or fox you can’t go wrong. Also would last you a very long time I had some pro comp shocks that literally lasted two months with no off-roading my bilstein are close to a year and still feels like it did from day one. I have the 5100 series

I put over 90k miles on the first set of Bilstiens I installed in my truck. Replaced them with Bilstiens again when I had the front suspension rebuilt when the truck was lowered.

I have monroes on now, I asked my dad what he put on before he gave me the truck. He put them on about 3.5 years ago now and it rides really smooth and good but I just noticed the rear Driver side is lower that the passenger side

One side being a little lower is normal on the fuel tank side especially as the truck gets older as it carries more weight on that side with fuel and driver. Also the truck will only really sit level on a level surface.
