If you want to improve your ride quality and never want to replace your shocks again, I would recommend these:

Bilstein 5100 - 1"-3" Front Lift Application - 1999-2004 Superduty 4wd - 5100 Series (Lifted Applications) - Truck Toyz Store

Do they make that shock in the s series? I have a 95 4x4 CC that I'm putting on Icon dual shock mounts and the SD mounts are shorter then the OBS ones. The truck has a 2.5" RSK kit. I have some BE-6545-H5 but I think they are to long?

I have the 5100s and love them. Definately get a set. They ride great but if you live anywhere that sees and sand or salt you need to clear coat them before you install them. They have had problems with the coating lasting in the past.

Marty beat me to it....I was just going to say Bilstein 5100's will be the best bang for the buck

Your best bet would be to get installed dimensions and then we can spec a shock specifically for your application.

5100's cannot beat them with a big stick....ride good, last a long time, look good, and are priced very well.

Not long ago I installed a set of Bilstein's on my F350 dually. Very noticeable improvement to ride! Took less than an hour to install.
