Shocks for 2005 4Runner (non-X-Reas)

Do you guys know which shocks (brand and model) come w/ the car and then which ones you would recommend for an upgrade?

Thanks.

I should mention this is for on-road and I want a sporty, firm ride....I want stiff, tight shocks.......

Well, I went w/ the Bilstein HD's and after driving on them for 2 weeks I must say they are AWESOME.

Much better handling and no difference in ride smoothness.

Each time I made a hard turn the shocks feel so strong/beefy they literally freeze right up and stop the car from swining.

So far better tires and better shocks have made the car feel much safer. My plan is to upgrade the sway bars next year and call it a day w/ regards to handling.
