Default These shocks ok?

my truck rides awful, im sure the stock tires dont help. anyway 4x4 truck has about 75k miles. not sure if these are the original shocks or not but id assume so. I do lots of street driving with light off roading every once in a while... found these on ebay... would these be good or is there something better (but needs to be cheap, im just a college student ha)

(Rough Country brand 8000 Series Hydraulic Shocks) with upgrade to nitrogen for $20

They're like Ram said, middle of the road. Those are what I have. No problems, for the price they're ok.

www.shockwarehouse.com They have a pretty good selection and you should be able to find out what you'd like.

I spoke to my manager and he wasn't too keen on the idea of free shocks But the good news is you can still get 5% off!

I put rancho RS9000XL shocks on my 05. They are 9 way adjustable and nitrogen I believe. Best shocks I've ever had. Found a local shop that installed them for 200 even a pair.
