rancho/skyjacker shocks question

Looking for some input from those who are running or have run the rancho rs5000 series shocks or the skyjacker nitro series shocks. Both are around the same price range and adjust to road/off road conditions as you drive. Which ones are better to put on the rear only of a 2004 that has a 1.5" add a leaf? On the front I am using the skyjacker platinum series. I originally considered buying either the platinum series or the rancho rs9000 adjustables for the rear, but then I figured the truck stays on the road 99.9% of the time, there's a big price difference as well. My goal is to get a shock that will stabilize the rear of the truck when going over bumps and stuff that will be well equipped for going off road too. As you all know there is a lot of rear end hop w/ factory shocks. Thanks.

I used to have a '03 Silverado with a 6" Skyjacker lift on it with nitro shocks. I liked them, the ride was great. Didn't take it off-road too much, but when I did they were fine. Hope this helps.

Running rancho rs9000X front an rear. Love them! Awesome adjustability to dial in for street, towing or rough roads/off road. Highly recommend.
