Best rear shocks?

My old Bilstein shocks are due fore replacement and I have no idea what to replace them with. The vehicle: 1998 1st generation Tacoma (340,000+ miles), 3" suspension lift with 33" BFG ATs. With the extra leaf spring in the rear, the suspension is a bit stiffer than it needs to be, but that's okay. So who's making the best shocks these days?

If you are wanting just direct replacement, go with KYBs.

"Best shock" is a relative term. Whats best for you might not be best for me.

Unless you plan on tuning and revalving the fox or kings to suit your needs, I would say they are a waste of money for you. Why not just throw another set of tacoma bilsteins on it and call it a day?
