Question Needing Shocks

HELP HELP HELP

I was just told that I was in desperate need for new shocks to be installed on my 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 Series 4x4. Now with that said he is what I use my truck for. I pull a 30 Foot Trailer and in the Winter I plow Snow ( BOSS 8 Foot Split V Plow ),,,I also use this truck as our Vacation vehicle expecting a nice ride to to handle as expected.

What is the BEST SHOCK to install ??? I have looked at the Monroe Reflux - Rancho 5000 & 9000 Series - Bilstein - Gabriel Ultra - etc etc etc etc...

Needing to hear from someone that can help me decide the BEST valuse for my money and hopefully the BEST/Inexpensive places they have found also...

Not Looking for CHEAPEST but for the BEST !!!!

Thanks

For 4x4s...I really like the Rancho 9000(If I remember correctly....that's the fully adjustable ones). Having adjustability is a great for different circumstances.

I have been asking around here about the rancho 9000x adjustable one's. I havent really had many responses, but by looking at them these are probably the ones im going to get. because of the fact they are adjustable, you can put a larger resivoir on them and you can also install an in cab adjuster. I'll be checking back through here just to see what people say. Im gonna probably put the rancho's on in about 2 weeks unless i hear something to convince me other wise. well good luck and sorry i couldnt be much help.
