Best replacement for OEM Shocks - 2005 Z85 4x4
My 2005 Z85 4x4 Colorado Crew Cab has started feeling a bit mushy and soft in the front end and I am looking to upgrade my shocks. I am running 30x9.5x15 A/T tires and do light offroading on fairly rough fire roads. I would estimate my driving to be 80% paved 20% dirt. Any suggestions for a decent all-around aftermarket shock?

IMO get Bilsteins. They are running a promotion right now, buy 3 get 1 free.

I am on a budget so the Rancho RS5000's seem to fit the bill (plus I live in Canada and can't find a deal on Bilsteins). I was told that Ranchos have issues with their bushings; can anyone back this up?

Not too sure but i've heard nothing but good things from Rancho shocks. Anyone know of anybody who has Edelbrock shocks?

Bilstein's are on sale at Tire Rack for $64 each right now. They also carry KYBs
