Best Shocks w/ Downey HD's?

So I think i'm gonna go w/ some downey hd coils pretty soon. I want the rear end to be able to stand up to some weight in the back, and also last for a while. (couple people have said that the oem downey's start sagging again after a yr or so) so if i get the downey's, i think i'm gonna have to go w/ some new shocks in the rear. What would you guys recommend? (prices would be nice too)

Take into consideration that i don't want the rear to ride rough; & I don't do that much offroading so flexing isn't to much of an issue.

You can't beat bilstein shocks. They are pricey though.

If you're looking for a direct bolt in that's a little longer, maybe try looking at shocks for a 2" lift. Alternatively, use the shock lengths I quoted, and go for something a little shorter in back, maybe an inch or so.
