personally i like bilsteins, other popular choices by members here are rancho, rough country and fox. there are tons of good shocks out there though. check out 4wheelparts.com or moesperformance.com

^^^depends on which one's you get but i believe so yes. Bilsteins are fairly stiff from what i hear. Much better for an on-road experience. Rancho's have a little more play for offroad adventures.

I have the Edelbrock IATs and I love them. Completely different ride..for the better. With the stock shocks I always felt the smallest everything on and off the road, now much more comfortable and stable/safe feeling. They look great too
