Default Shocks

Got a 01 Dakota Sport 4X4, needs new shocks. But dont know what to get for it. I need shocks that are good for around town (Roads here are really rough), highway and logging roads. Any suggestions??

I ran Rancho 5000's on a Jeep Cherokee I had , I found they were a bit rough, in town on good roads off road they were great controlling the spring oscillations. I have heard that the 9000 series with the in cab control are a dream.
If I had to buy off road shocks I'd by Bilstien or KYB.

Monroe Reflex from NAPA. They're great shocks and come with a life time warranty. I've had mine on for a couple years now and they still work great.
