HD truck aftermarket shock options?

I have a 13 Ram 2500 4x4 CTD, I am looking to replace the factory shocks with aftermarkets. I infrequently pull a 10k TH.

Has anyone replaced their oem shocks? What brands are you using?
Is there a noticeable difference or was it a waste of $$.

I was looking at Rancho's 7000 & 9000 series.
Thoughts? Experienced answers welcomed.

I put Bilstien 5100 on my 2001 made a huge differance. If you do search on shocks you will find that Bil's are very popular.

I put Bilstein 5100s on my 2013 F350 dually 4x4 before it was a month old. A great improvement.

Others put on Bilstein 4600s.

Bilsteins have a lifetime warranty and you can find decent prices on the internet.
