Which Shocks?

I lifted my 96 Std Cab Tacoma about 2 years ago and am very disappointed with the Rancho Shocks i went with. Basically what shocks would be good for limited off roading and will sport a 3" suspension lift.

I dont want them too firm or to soft they bottom out constantly. Thanks for any suggestions.

Shox.com has very good pricing on Bilstein shocks. I would call and discuss your application as the online store assumes standard ride height.
