Default Plugs, wires & shocks

I have a 03 ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi Quad cab and 47,000 miles. Just looking to change the wires & the plugs but never owned a ram before. Also change the shocks I pull a 6,000lbs camper with the ram and I have a lot of bounce in the back end. So if some people can give me some info it would be great.

Things need to know
1. What type of plugs should I get? I know I need 16 of them I was looking at the autolight XP but they are not out yet.
2. What type of wires should I get and I need to know where to get them & size 8,8.5 etc....
3. What type of shock should I go with I was Thinking rancho but don't know what type and also don't want to stiff of a ride

Thanks Joey

1. Despite all the claims of Iridium and Platinum plugs, there are no performance gains over copper core plugs. The original plugs are Champion. I put NGK V-Power 5306 plugs in.

2. I'm running Taylor Thundervolt 82026 wires. Some go with Taylor Thundervolt 98009. The 82s are 8.2mm diameter and the 98x are 10mm diameter. Both have the same performance specs.

3. Bilstein shocks are excellent without being harsh. Some folks like Edelbrocks, also an excellent shock, as are Ranchos.
