    everyone loves bilstein 5100s. They have a couple options when buying also. You can get just front, all around, ride height adjustable, some with reservoirs.

    Ebay has an all around set for around $300 usually... If you dont want to lift the truck then i would say go with the Bilsteins.

Shok Industries 2/0 big 4 upgrade and sound deadener.
    I would HIGHLY recommend reading around the site, specifically using the search feature for "lifts". What one person considers a smooth riding shock is garbage to another because everyone has different end goals and budgets to accomplish those goals. For that matter if you want "smooth" you should go for long travel...but it's not going to be smooth around town unless you're womping speed bumps.

    For price, performance and longevity, you can't go wrong with Bilstein. If budget is not a problem, King and Fox are the best shocks you can get.
