Bilstein 5125, because they were affordable. I'd like to swap out to Radflo emulsion 2.0, but I've got other things that need my money spent on first. I don't have any complaints about the 5125s, I just know that the Rads are that much better and smoother riding.

Radflo 2.0s, the bilsteins and EMU shocks didn't hold up to my 'Baja' style of driving.  And they can be rebuilt.

I just put on a set of Radflo's and thus far have been impressed. I got them on a good deal here. I don't have a rear sway bar but have noticed the shocks are performing very well. They seem to handle the random freeway bumps without kicking up the back end. I'll know a lot more when I get out on the Mojave Rd. in a couple weeks and see how they work in conjunction with my Old Man Emu leaf's and a moderate load.
