Default Need Shocks (Suggestions)?

I have a 2004 Z71 ext. cab. I'm looking for shocks in the $305-$350 range for all four. I've looked at Bilstein 5100's, and read up on them. What I can find though is that the Bilstein 4600's are recommended. Were the 4600's only used on 2wd/4wd vehicles? I thought the Z71 packacge was slightly taller than a standard 4wd, and would accept the 5100's? I've also looked at Rancho 7000's and Rough Country 2.0/2.2 shocks. I think Rancho is what came factory on my specific suspension package (from what I can tell, Chevy used all different kinds of shock packages). I can't find any information on the RC shocks in relation to my application. Anyways, does anyone have any other suggestions or offer insight on what I have listed here? I do haul with this truck. I pull a 21ft gooseneck with up to two horses, and pull a 16ft utility loaded with a rzr or 2 four wheelers. This is my daily driver, at about 325 miles a week average. I do not hardcore off road in this truck, but it does get some action out at our farm. I'm not interested in a full level kit because of future plans for this truck.

Go with the Bilsteins 4600's or get the Rancho monotubes. Don't bother with twin tubes.
