RE: Shocks
Why oh why must I continue to post this?
Seriously, even though it's a 2wd I would highly suggest a set of Rancho RS5000's. I'm a big fan. They usually go about $40 each, but well worth it. And they're waranteed for life, so you never have to buy another set as long as you have the truck, or a truck similar to it and a reciept.

Try-
www.4wheelparts.com
www.summitracing.com
www.jegs.com
Even if they don't have that specific application listed, if you call them they can usually get them without a problem.

RE: Shocks
The RS5195 should be the specific shock for that truck. RS5000 is the general product line. Rancho is probably the top aftermarket off-road shock. They also make lift kits and other off-road stuff.
Tell your dad he isn't omnipitent, so if he hasn't heard of it that doesn't mean it's cheap, just that he hasn't heard of it. If we didn't hear of new things, we'd be stuck with the same old same old all the time.
