My street has 14 speedbumps between my house and the main drag, so whatever shock I get is going to die an early death, so I am hesatant to spend the big $$ for the "brand name" shocks if there isn't a demonstrable difference in either ride or longevity.

I'll buy that. I had forgotten just how bad the OEM shocks were until I
bought my new truck. 20,000 miles on the RS5000s on the old truck and
they were *far* better than these pieces of crap. I'm bringing new
shocks to Jon's in July to put on (the lift makes it much easier) if I
can hold out.
