I'd go with Doetsch Tech. Ebay seller SuspensionMax carries them real cheap and you could also go directly to www.doetsch-shocks.com. I've got the kit and I'm really pleased with it. One thing to keep in mind with Rough Country is their spindles are made by AIM. Ask Wandell about AIM products. Hopefully, they've got their problems solved, but I know in the past they had major issues with structural rigidity and the ABS sensor.
I have the RoughCountry spindles on my truck. If I would Have know they were made by AIM before I got them, I wouldnt have gotten them, but Im actually fairly pleased with them.
I jump my truck, haul a$$ down some pretty holey/bumpy roads, and hit some pretty big holes. Not to mention how stiff my truck rides from the shocks, it SLAMS up and down. Those spindles get a workout, and so far, I havent had a wheel pop off. Ive only had them for 2 months or so, so after awhile maybe I will experience some of the horror stories Ive heard about AIM, who knows.
I didnt have any problem with the ABS sensor. When I went to put them in I held my breath, worrying about them not fitting, but they fit perfect.
Only complaint I have about them is you have to either get rid of the brake rotor shield, or trim it down to a little triangle shape like I did.
