Good Replacement Shocks

I am looking for some good replacement shocksL

97 F150 4x4 5.4L Stock Height

I do not do alot of off-roading, but occasionaly need to get in the mud!! I have a couple of links below. I am looking for a reasonable shock with a reasonable price:

KYB - Front

KYB - Rear

Please let me know what you think and any suggestions you may have.

OK, No flames but this question is not going to help you much. If 20 people reply to this post you will end up with 30 different recommendations. Do a search for shocks and you will have enough reading to last a week at least. But since you asked, I might as well jump in...Edelbrocks. The IAS's are awesome. Couldn't believe the difference they made. You can't go wrong with Bilsteins either. If I couldn't get Edelbrocks for my truck, that's what I'd have. I have had KYB's on cars before and was not really impressed. They are a very good shock for the money, but definately not a great shock. I will admit I don't know how they would be for a truck.

Ditto on the Edelbrocks. Put them on my '03 KR SCrew about two months ago. Should have done it the day I bought the truck. The ride, handling and off-road stability improved so much my wife noticed without knowing I'd changed shocks! Great product.
