Check out DJM Cal-Max or Toxic Shocks.

If you really want a nice ride, the belltech street performance shocks are awsome. I have them now and have used them on a few friends trucks, they all love them. They have dropped in price, they are about 50$s each now. When I bought mine they were $80 each.

I have been looking at the toxic shocks. My trucks more of an old skool rat rod so ride quality isn't such a biggie.. Haha I even went threw the stock shock catalog today at work trying to find some that would work... Lol...
