2wd shocks

I am in need of new shocks for my 2wd 2500 and was wondering what to get. I looked a bilsteins and they only have hd ones for the 2wd. I like how the monomax look but don't know how they ride for are heavy trucks. Let me know what you think.

I have the Monroe Reflex. Definitely softer than the stock shocks.

Bilsteins

I just put on a set of Bilsteins on my truck and got them from here. eshocks.com: Bilstein Shocks and Struts: Ram 2WD Pickups (standard suspension) They had the best price I could find,plus free shipping. They are great shocks and I'm happy with the ride.

I have Bilsteins and so far no complaints. I did not notice any difference in handling compared to the stockers. Monroe or Bilstein, you can't go wrong with either.
