PRO-COMP. I've installed several different brands of shocks on my truck to
find the right ones.
Edelbrock (when they were first released) - Returned them right away...too
mushy.
Gabriel - Had to try them...plain out and simple...suck.
Rancho RS5000 - Nice at first, but get really mushy over extended bumpy
terrain. (Blew all four while launching the truck.)
ProComp ES9000 - Past all of my tests (On and Offroad) and haven't blown
them out yet...launched the truck twice so far. (Yeah...I'm a little bit
hard on the suspension...but it's a lot of fun.)
The ProComp's won hands down on ride, handling, and price. (Rancho's are
good shocks as well, but the experience I had with a simple warranty return
took my business away from them...and ProComp gave me a credit for the
Ranchos!!)

New shocks? I get to buy new shocks? YAY!!!
It is not a 4x4. 2wd. It could ride like a 4x4 though, I wouldn't
mind. What kind is best? I want good ones. And how long will good
ones last?

Flip,
I would ditch the old shocks at this mileage. Go out and buy a good
set of
shocks. Is your truck 4x4? If so, I would stick with ProComp,
Bilstein, or
TrailMaster SSVs.....any aftermarket shock will be so much better
than the
small and really useless stock dampening system.
