New Shock Time
I know nothing about shock absorbers, other than how they work. I can install them or have a shop do it, depends on how busy I am. The existing shocks are Ranchos but they are so rusted I cannot read ...

I don't know why you expect everyone to have the same experience you have had with Bilsien shocks..There is so much more to a trucks suspension than just shocks..I have heard good on them as well as the Monroe shocks carrying a TC..I had good luck with KYB shocks on a 21ft Class C which is the same concept as a TC.
I don’t “expect” everyone to have the same experience, but it would be nice to compare the same type of vehicle and vehicle setup. My points for those other vehicles were that the vehicles compared are dissimiiar, so the experiences aren’t relevant for those carrying a truck camper on a truck designed to carry that type of load.
Oh, and I agree that there is much more than shocks to a truck suspension, so comparing a van chassis Class C isn’t relevant to choosing shocks for a truck camper either. Might work but also might not work.
They design shocks for a very specific purpose. If that design matches your needs, then those shocks will work. That application doesn’t mean they got it right for all other applications/uses for a different type of vehicle, however.
