Default Bilstein Shocks but which ones??

Hey everyone! Just wanted to see what everyones opinion is on what Bilstein shocks I should get. Should I go with the OEM replacement ones or should I get a different series? The truck is just my daily driver. I don't go off roading, and it does the occasional scrap yard run so a good bit of weight goes in the bed from time to time.

The only one Summit Racing listed for stock setup when I looked where the HD's and 4600's. The 4600's are ~150 a shock and are way overkill for a stock setup so I went with the HD's for ~75 a shock which I personally did not care for on my truck. I ended up switching over to the Rancho Xl9000's that are 9 way adjustable and couldn't have been happier with them for the remaining time I had the truck.

Bilstein does seem to be a huge favorite from almost everyone on the ranger forums, but this was just my experience and coming from someone that has owned both on the same ranger and setup the same exact way. Not just reading through the threads, or friend of a friend thing.

If I was going with a cheaper brand, id go with monroe senstracs or something similar to their upper line of monroe shocks.
