I have a 2005 2WD OC Laramie Hemi with the factory installed towing package; my first question is: Did the factory towing package include a heavy-duty or upgraded shock or were all the shocks the same on the 1500's? Next question is what shock do you consider the best for an upgrade - I very rarely tow or haul anything - my main objective is performance and ride and I'm using the SRT10 22'' Wheels w/305/45's for this application.
Bilsteins, Edelbrock's, Koni's or whatever? Price is not a major consideration but longevity and quality is important. PLEASE give specific part numbers for your suggestions and do remember it is for a 2005 1500 2WD QC.

Thanks very much for your suggestions and information!

The only different shocks that were put on the 1500's was if you have the off raod package you would of had Bilstiens on it. Which is what I am going to put on my truck!!

As far as I know the "factory installed tow package" only consist of a four point plug a seven point plug and a reciever hitch.
