Ok.. so to follow up.. Great news.. went to sears after ordering some Rancho 5000's... I was intending on those based on price and the fact that I'll just set the adjustables at 9 and leave it anyway. I was told that the 5000's were basically the 9000's on 9. Anyway.. their shock guy goes in there to check mine out.. he loves them, tells me I'll be unhappy with anything else but the factory (he builds lifted race trucks and race cars)... AND that mine are in great shape and there's no reason to replace them!!! Good for sears in SouthWest Colorado Springs.. so I got an alignment and since I "saved" $300.. I bought tires from him.
So the new tires are Bridgestone Dueler APT III's... 265/75/16... They are a lot like my current tires, 60k warranty and they look real nice..
WOOHOO.. stock shocks still rolling at 102,500 miles... I love this car
