I'd recommend bilsteins any day if you are looking for better handling and/or a level. I installed and have them on the front at 2" lift. You can use the stock height or lift/level up to 2". You have an 06 so the fronts are coilovers which are not a 30 min task like the 03-05s. You'll need a spring compressor and possibly a torch to deal with the lower shock bolt (it is known to stick). Search "bilstein 5100 install".
If you want a simple, quick, cheap, OEM-type restoration, grab some 'loaded' (w/springs) monroe front shocks from rockauto.com. Same goes for rears except for the "loaded" part. They seem to be popular for that purpose.

Still I would recommend the Monroes based on using them for other vehicles. Install for the fronts looks much simpler than the clevis-mount coilovers on mine.
