I have been looking for new shocks for my truck. 2003 Chevy 2500HD, Duramax, Crew Cab, Long Bed, NO lift stock ride height.  
I see 6 common brands not sure which to choose.

Rancho  
Sky-Jacker  
AC-Delco  
Monroe  
KYB  
Bilstien

Anyone have a brand they prefer and a reason why?

The Monroe Reflex are a very good performing shock at a low price. If you don’t mind spending money, you can get more out of bilsteins though
