A friend of mine said that the Monroe Reflex makes the handling much better on a TB, not sure if that is the model your looking at but they seem to be decent...

As a general rule of thumb I tend to shy away from anything that uses "economy" in their name or description as generally the quality seems dubious.

I'd just get the shocks and reuse stock springs, but I understand if you're not keen on using the spring compressors and disassembling them.

The HD Bilsteins are highly recommended; I put a set on the front and rear about two months ago and the ride is great.

Here's the best deal I found:

Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - Edelbrock Automotive Truck Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com

Should be a discount code around here somewhere you can use to save even more.

I just replaced the front shock assemblies with the Quick-Strut from Monroe. $216 apiece from Advanced Auto plus online coupon. Save $50. Rock auto does state that the economy is not original ride. Top left corner on page. For all that work spend the extras cash,especially if you plan on keeping your TB. Good Luck.
