What shocks?

Hey I'm new to the forum and was wondering which shocks are best for a 94 4x4 3.0 Ext. Cab? I was looking at Bilsteins what do you think?
Thanks,
strings

Bilstein are one of the top shocks, very good stuff but not cheap.

Cheaper alternatives:

KYB, monroe senstrak, rancho, procomp, etc. If its mostly street I would buy monroes, good shocks for a good price.

Rancho RS5000's are what im running, they are very stiff but they help handling a lot on the road and they are awesome in the dirt. IMHO stay away from the monroes, every vehicle ive ever put those shocks on has been barely any better then it was with the old blown out ones...
