I have a 2014 Ram 1500 CC 4x4 that I use on a daily basis and also use to tow a 26' camper. I need to replace the shocks and looking for the combination of the best quality ride but also handle towing. The truck is stock height. Any recomendations?

I looked at both and I can't see what the difference is. It's a front shock for a 2wd Ram. That's all I can find. It says front fitment. If you really want to get the info on it, contact Benny @AllMoparParts.com He could tell you.Oem listings for my truck show two diffrent shocks available 68170198AC and 68170199AC. Does anyone know the diffrence between the two?
The Bilstiens road much better on my 96, and 2021 2500 than the stock OEM shocks ever did empty. I test drove a 2500 that did not have the Off road package and one that does, off road comes with Bilsteins from the factory, and I like the ride of the Off road package much better. Loaded was just as good. You can get softer after market shocks than Bilstiens but I do not find them stiff empty, especially on the 2021 2500 that has coil rears instead of the leafs in my 96.Some have told me the Billsein 5100’s are a little stiff unloaded. I want to keep the ride quality as close to the stock H-D shocks as I can ( or improve the ride).
If you haven't already, order yourself a set of these to make replacing the rear shocks easier: https://www.thurenfabrication.com/products/thuren-shock-nut-set-2009-2018-dodge-ram-1500I just placed an order for KYB truck plus front assemblies and KYB gas a just for the rear. I always been a fan of KYB for street use so hopefully they dont let me down.
Those do look like they would work. It was a real PITA when I did my shocks. After trying to get a stubby wrench on that darn rear nut I just removed the inner fender liner. It only took a couple of minutes to R&R the liner.If you haven't already, order yourself a set of these to make replacing the rear shocks easier: https://www.thurenfabrication.com/products/thuren-shock-nut-set-2009-2018-dodge-ram-1500
