Many, many moons ago on a street car I had at the time which had big coil springs in the front and I had staggered in leaf springs from another vehicle into the existing (giving me 6 left and 7 right) I used Monroe 10/90s up front and 50/50s in the back. The 10/90s helped the front lift to transfer weight to the rear and the 50/50's allowed it to squat a bit. It actually rode very well, not bouncy or harsh just on the firmer side. Depends on what you're after ride wise and type of performance you're looking for. I've used Bilstein shocks on several vehicles and am extremely pleased with them. Example: my 99 2500 Dodge Cummins 8800gvw, I installed Bilstein yellow/blue, well over 140k miles ago and it still rides like the day I installed them.
