Since I'm basically redoing the front end bushings, balljoints again to change to Energy Suspension I will likely change the shocks again followed by new 255/55/17 tires. Last time wasn't even 3 years ago and I used Gabriel ProGuard not because they were the cheapest, they weren't actually the cheapest, but because I was told after calling their tech department it would provide the closest to original ride which I would say is pretty much true. But since you can no longer get the Mopar replacements what can I get to provide the most comfortable ride without sacrificing whatever performance the shocks give you in handling. I already can feel a world of difference between riding in my 2wd Ford Ranger and my R/T. It is night and day even in the comfort department. My Ford has always felt like driving in a stagecoach on a cobblestone road all the time wherever you are driving even with a fresh front end rebuild. When I drive my Dakota even now with the less than perfect suspension it still out does the Ford 100% in ride quality except when it encounters a bump the rear end bops around just like I read in all the review articles about R/T's ride quality. I will likely be buying a new set from Rockauto and they have numerous brands FSC and OSC brand I've never heard of which are listed as Economy shocks. The there is the standards Gabriel, Monroe, KYB, Bilstein, and Rancho.
