Default Best shocks for my 05-hummer h2

Hey Guys.
I need 4 new Shocks for my 2005 Hummer h2. I don't go Offroading just HWY cruising. Should I get OEM or Bilstein? Looking for the smoothest ride.
I appreciate your opinion, Thank You!

Bilsten I think will be way too rough. More of a performance shock. If you want comfort I would look at Monroe gas shocks. Or something you can adjust to change the ride firmness .

I have the adjustable Rancho's RS9000 and I am happy with them. When needed I can adjust the firmness either more or less to get the ride I am looking for. They were around $75 per shock and easy to install.

Here is a link with more details

Rancho Suspension: Shocks » RS9000XL™

Best of luck

I did not get the MyRide system as I do not change the shock settings very often. To change the settings, its just a dial that needs to be turned on each shock. No tools required, just have to reach under the truck and turn the dials.
