My 2008 Silverado HD is ready for tires and shocks. The current tires are Firestone Destination A/T's and I only got 32k miles out of them.
I currently tow a Fastech 292 that weighs in on the trailer with gear at around 10k lbs.
Looking for some recommendations on tires and new shocks.

Bridgestone dueler at revo 2 for tires, I have had three different kinds on my duramax and they are by far the best I.m.o. As for shocks I'd agree on the bilsteins I had a set of rancho rs 5000 and they didn't impress me I also have Firestone ride rite airbags which I would highly recommend

The best tire I have ran for towing is the Firestone transforce ht.(second set) it's not a offroad tire but has low road noise, better fuel mileage, less wander and good wear. I have 145,000 on my 02 2500hd Duramax and all I use it for is a tow rig. It's a short box crew cab with a minor efi live tune,cold air intake and small exhaust.
I have Gabriel max control shocks on my truck now. (On the second set lifetime warranty) they have been better than the stockers and rancharos that I tried.
I also have Firestone air bags great investment!
