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.

I ran Fox 2.0.  100K miles and no issues.

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.
