My shocks have been worn out for a while so it's time to replace. I'm looking for something better than stock but I don't go off-roading and I don't tow or carry super-heavy loads. I just want shocks that will improve handling but not be stiff nor do I want mushy shocks for "comfort's sake." Looking for that in-between shock. RIght now I'm looking at the and the Bilstein B6 4600 Monotube.600 Monotube

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

 

I would go Bilstein over Rancho.
But for your use, what about a Monroe or KYB gas shock?

 

Thanks.

 

Shocks don't really improve handling all that much. The Bilstein's are good. They last a long time. Little firmer than stock ride. I think Cruiser hit on something important ...how firm or 'stock' do you want it to be? A Sensitrac isn't a bad shock either.

What tires do you have now? Are you running P-metric 235/75/15 tires, or a heavier duty LT tire? Are you going to be changing tires to something else anytime soon?
