If you are looking for cheap, OEM replacements, I have the Monroe-Matic 32302s in the front and 32303s in the rear. $52 for the front pair, $55 for the rear. The front was easy to swap out, but I had a shop do my rears.

bils are awesome but i have monroes at all 4 corners and love them the fronts were EASY the rear are a PITA bc of the nut on the top.

had some cheapo auto zone gabrial pro gaurds for a while but the top nut broke twice on 2 diff shocks. and said screw it and got monroes gas tubes love them.

I used to run bilstein on my old 2001 SCREW...nothing but great things to say about them. Even if you have the patience of a saint the rears will be a pain in your ***. I read on here one time where a guy cut two circular holes in the bed to make changing the rears easier...if i'd had the tools i'd have done the samenthing on the spot.

Good luck

I have bilstins and the only minor issue with them is there a tad firm for my liking on the freeway. They make up for it off road on rough roads and all..
