Hotchkis or Bilstein shocks

I hate to be a nut swinger for a company when all I did was give them money for their product. But these shocks are firm and controlled but yet the ride is smooth like a car 35yrs newer. But I have always been an advocate for spending money on a monotube custom valves shock for any vehicle. I used to have 2.5" Kings front and 2.5" King double bypasses on my old Diesel, you want to talk about a shocking transformation! That truck could pound 3' deep whoops at 80mph and still rode 200% better than stock on the street.
