Looking to see if anyone has a better option for shocks than Monroe. I have replaced the rear with Monroe and it felt good for the first few days and then the ride got soft again. It is a 06 Ram 1500 crew cab 4wd. Not looking to spend 300 ea for shocks but want something I don't have to replace all the time. What have you used? Thanks

Everyone recommended the Bilstein shocks for my 2005 Ram 3500 (about $80.00 each.) They seem to be softer ride than the stock shocks. Truck seems to absorb bumps compared to just bouncing over them?
Rancho was also mentioned, I think it is more of an off road shock so it may be stiffer?

Ranchos with the Reflex valving are awesome.
