in the market for new shocks....

I THINK my shcoks are shot...or it could just be th efact that they are rancho shocks. Its a real rough ride. I have a 4 inch trailmaster suspension lift. What do you all recomend for a good onroad shock, that will also perform well offroad

I think this is what im going to do....
Buy a new rear axle and strip it to metal. Weld on new shock mounts to the top of it, and setup an INBOARD shock system for the rear. Than use BILSTIEN 7100s (I think) with the resivoirs.
