Default 2001 ranger edge shocks.

So I just got this 2001 ranger edge, and it needs new shocks...really bad. Everybody I've asked about it said to just get Bilstein shocks. They're great, but a little pricey. Do y'all have any alternate, less expensive suggestions? I'm not doing anything special with it, just sticking to the road for now.

Gabriel shocks are good and come in many different levels but are affordable and last a good while.

x2.

Bilstein shocks are NICE, but I went with the cheaper Gabriel Ultra shocks. Pretty smooth ride, and they cost $39.99 a shock at my local Autozone.
