(its like $150 for the 3000s and $165 for 9000s and both include a steering stabilizer)

I hated my 9000s

I'd go with Bilstein 5100 shocks. There's not much out there in replacement shocks that's better.

I really liked the adjustable Ranchos I had on one truck some years ago.

x2 on the 5100 Bilsteins. Most other entry level shocks are crap.

What about James Duff shocks? I'm curious about the supposed benefits of their 70/30 valving- anybody?

I have Bilstein replacement HD shocks on my 98 4x4, and it made a HUGE difference in ride quality and control. Bilsteins are worth every penny, and come with a lifetime warranty.
