I'm thinking the SkyJacker Platinums might be the way to go. There really is no equal to a Bilstein shock, which is crap for me but I guess that's good for them.
King shocks are great shocks but yes overkill and a little pricey just as the Fox shocks are. Great shocks none the less, but for the application they don't want to spend that kind of money.
The up side to the 2 are that they are rebuildable but neither of the guys will rebuild them, they will just replace them.
Thanks for the help, if you can think of any other brands please let me know.
