TV needs shocks

We just finished our 3000 mile shakedown trip, and towards the end, the shocks on the suburban decided they were done (kids said it was like Mr. Toads wild ride).
Any recommendations on shocks for towing? I've had very good experience with Rancho 9000's (not towing), but I have been told to go with Bilstein.
What are yall using for the heavier trailers (8000-9000 lbs)
Thanks

    I would recommend turning down your torsion keys. It will give a better ride both unloaded and loaded and tow level rather than nose high.


    They are exactly the same other than ride height.


    I understand what you have READ. I'm just sharing my REAL WORLD experience. So believe what you want...


    I am just stating what Bilstein says.
