Default shocks with factory springs?

Hello guys. I need some new shocks for my 01 Screw 5.4L. The truck has 160k miles and I believe the shocks same shocks since the truck was new. The shocks are worn out specially the rear ones. I'm looking to replace all 4 struts and was looking for some shocks that handle better on the road. I don't tow or haul anything besides small stuff for the house. The truck is my daily driver.

can anyone give me some options? Thanks.

I would just go to the parts store and grab some shocks. I got the gabriell ultras for like 130 bucks! They work great, and they will be worlds better esspecially over the stock worn out ones. Plus, mine have a lifetime warranty, and they work with my slightly lifted truck no problem.

Thanks for the reply. I opted to not get the belltech because of the lack of information with an OEM steup. They are used almost in all the lowered trucks. I had gabriels in the past for one of my car and they were horrible. Not sure if they were the ultra ones. I not sure if they are better on trucks. I will keep looking around. Thanks for the input.
