I ordered Bilstein 4600 series shocks off Amazon to replace the OEM originals on my used 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel.Total $320.
For me, the Bilsteins were the best thing I ever did on my 2WD Dodge Ram diesel truck which tows my Keystone Cougar 5th wheel. I'd buy Bilsteins again.
So keep researching, asking questions. Only you can decide what you can afford, and make a decision that's best for you. Was it a bad choice? A good one? You'll never know until you choose one way or the other.

Our trucks are fairly similar and I was not impressed with the ride from Bilsteins so I changed to KYBs and have been happy with them for many years now. I had Ranchos on my old '94 and did not care for them either. Replaced them with Monroes and liked the ride better. ( in case it matters, Monroes are now made in China) What it boils down for me is each persons pocket book and seat of their pants feel is different . So as others have so eloquently said in the past, YMMV.
