I have a 2000, 2.5l, RWD, manual trans, no lift, XLT, extended cab, front coils. I need to replace the rear shocks. I don't go off road and am usually unloaded. I haul a heavy load maybe twice a month but might do more in the future. I don't tow but might occasionally in the future, using the bumper. Any ideas on the best shocks to get, OEM, Standard, Heavy Duty? Good models to get? Ones to stay away from?
