Default what shocks should i get?

hey all well I did turned 20 back on the 2nd and for my birthday i want shocks for my truck but im not sure what i should get. i want sumthing thats gonna hold up gd hold weight if i ever need to put lot of weight or if i ever have to tow... but also dont wanna lose my handling... i dont mind going around empty raods doing 70 in a 35mph turn in the right lane and not crossing over. any ideas? dont worry i dont do it very often only when i wanna show off abit. 3 tickets are more then enough for me. i also wouldnt mind sumthing thats would be okay if i do decide to lift the truck... wish there was an actual suspension lift for us. let me know guys!

I have Rancho shocks and struts and love them. Much better than my stock ones.

I don't have an answer for that, but since I am interested too, I will ask this for both of us. Is there a good site like autoanything that has a cheap price on ranchos? Also which rancho does our truck use? Their website doesn't seem to have an application guide that I could find...

The RS5757 is for the front and the RS5315 is for the back
