Shocks for BJ lift

i've searched a lot on this, but a lot of it was old and i thought maybe some new stuff has come out since then. i put a ball joint lift on the front of my truck and a zuk mod in the rear. i need some longer than stock shocks, but not sure what kind to get. i drive mostly on road, and when i do go off road, its nothing crazy so i don't need anything hardcore. but if i'm replacing the shocks anyways, it would be nice to upgrade. any recomendations? part #'s or links would be great as i'm having a hard time finding where to buy shocks with a pieced together lift like i have.

Chaser is correct. Find shocks for 2" lifts. What I found after a quick Ebay search:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RANCHO-RS5000-Shock-Absorbers-COMPLETE-Set-of-4-For-0-2-of-Lift-/221419696252?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1993%7CMake%3AToyota&hash=item338da4707c&vxp=mtr
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-Comp-ES3000-Shocks-Set-of-4-86-95-TOYOTA-PICKUP-4WD-for-2-3-Lift-/221391227153?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1993%7CMake%3AToyota&hash=item338bf20911&vxp=mtr
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Skyjacker-H7002-Front-HYDRO-H7000-Series-Shock-For-0-2-Body-Lift-/111329104836?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1993%7CMake%3AToyota&hash=item19ebbb53c4&vxp=mtr The last one is just the fronts. I couldn't find a listing for all 4.

Bilsteins are probably the best, but it all depends on how much you want to spend. Of the three I posted here, my first choice would be the Ranchos.

The same info you found when you "searched" is still valid. Everybody's got a different opinion. Shock topics come up every other day.
