Smile KYB shocks

Hey good morning everyone, I am going to put some shocks on a 2000 dodge 1500 sport truck and was wondering if anyone has tried KYB's? It is a 4wd but not lifted as far as I can tell. I know Biltsteins are used a lot, but any recommendations for a good price and performance? No off road use, just towing a boat....offered to due this job for a friend, and I like answers I get from forums versus the parts folks. The shocks he has now are the original equipment and they are shot, truck bounces like a pogo stick....

I think KYB are what my stockers are. They seem to be okay with about 102K on em. I may get em again when I buy new ones.
