please note i hate 4 wheel parts, but sometimes they are the place to go.
anyway, we just called them up, told them what truck we had, told them we did a 2" lift up front and needed a 2" longer than stock shock. picked the model that fit the price range and ordered them. with stuff like this, sometimes it's best to go the old fashion route and actually call and talk to someone. you generally won't be able to order something like that online.....they just won't have the option. we ordered some ProCrap ES3000s @ $35a piece. not the worlds greatest shock...kinda stiff....but it is a truck afterall. they softened the ride quite a bit over the over extended stock shocks though.

like i was sayin...for this, it's really best just to call and talk to someone on the phone. they don't list everything online. if it's not already part of a kit, they probably won't have it listed by itself.
not sure on a scale, but i guess i would say they are 2 points better than stock. not really a huge difference compared to stock, but the extra length is where the comfort comes from. you could go witha higher quality shock, and pay twice as much, but still not have a car-like ride in a truck. regardless of what shock, it's still going to ride like a truck.
