Default Good shocks?

Hi new here! Anyways I just bought a 99 ext cab silverado and it has ALOT of miles on it 167,000!!! Well it needs new shocks real bad and i am just wondering what the best shock on a budget would be?

I found some rancho RS5000 series on sale on 4wheelparts.com buy 3 get one free! Not exactly sure if those are any good or not.

Btw the truck has a 3" body lift

Thanks
Jeremy

Jhamb, welcome to the forum!!! Is it a body lift or a suspention lift? If it just a body lift then you can get the standard size shock for almost all companies, but if it is a suspention lift then your select will be limited. Check out this site,its where I bought my monroe shock.
