    Noah, I'll tell you what I did as your question will field alot of different answers. I installed some Bilstein 4600HD all the way around. Like you, I wanted a comfortable ride as I don't drive off-road. IMO, its very close to factory shocks without paying the factory price.

    Total cost was $350 with my labor. My dealership wanted $200 for one front shock and that was a carry out price.

    Like I said, you will get a bunch of different answers, but these work for me and I'm happy with the results.
