Shock Question

This question has probably been over-posted but I'll ask it anyways. I have about 67K on my 4Runner and I feel that I need some new shocks. I've heard people rave about Bilstein or OME. I probably spend about 85%-90% on the highway but when I do go off road I like to play hard. So does anyone have any suggestions on what to get? Aslo with new front and rear shocks should I go ahead and upgrade the springs too?

You're right, it has been over-posted. Have you searched on this yet?

I researched this and I found that the results vary by the owners bias. The bilsteins are very nice but allegedly not stiff enough for off road, the rancho's are way cheap but are allegedly too stiff for the road. I found the OME's were opined to be of road worthy only, and too loose for street.

Some people disagree with either being too much of anything and say they are entirely happy.

Originally I was going to go with Bils but I'm going to save the money and get 4 ranchos for the price of 2 bils.

I had OME's installed about a year ago, and I like them
