shocks for the rear

i am replacing my rear shocks i had rs5000 and was not impressed but my KYB's back on even though they are for the stock height (currently have rancho 4inch lift) i am installing air bags and know i need bigger shock i was some that will give me a good ride so i am wondering should i get another longer pair of the KYB's or get something else thats better? i dont want a stiff ride like i was getting with the rs5000(they are filled with oil)

thanks

What kind of price range are you looking at for the shocks?

I have a set of the ProComp MX6R shocks on the truck which are great and adjustable. They also make another version of the MX6 without the reservoir.

If money is no object pick up a set of good leafs instead of the block. I also have a set of 6" Deavers on the truck and I couldnt be happier. Since you are only running a 4" lift you could just get their 4" springs and probably take out the block.

yes my back end could kick out on any sort of pot hole or bump they are meant to be on a bigger vehicle or something wayyy too stiff
