I like the Rancho RS9000s. It is great to be able to fine tune your shocks to the perfect setting. It's also nice to be able to stiffen them when you are carrying a heavy load.

You would have to measure your shock lengths and order the right lengths.

Need a Spot

The length of the shock is what it needs to handle flex, all shocks that are long enough are capable. Bilsteins (the ones Marlin sells) are very popular. BBCS shocks from PolyPerformance are often considered the best available for wheeling with leaf springs as they are specifically tuned for that application. My friend has the RS9000's and I don't like em too much but some people do so who knows.
