OK gentlemen, after doing my research and changing my mind a couple of times, I went with the Bilstein 5100 shocks all around. The front shocks are ride height adjustable up to 2 inches on a 2wd, which mine are set at. I kept the stock height in the rear. This is a vast improvement over the stock shocks, which were the originals and probably lost some of their effectiveness. The ride is sure footed and comfortable and if feels like a new truck. I would highly recommend this type of leveling kit instead of the spacers which compress the front springs and decrease the effectiveness of the front suspension. The shocks cost just a little bit more than a spacer kit and installation takes just a little bit longer, but the results are well worth it. While the truck was on the rack, I installed a Mag-Hytec differential cover just because they look so damn cool! Mission accomplished! Stay thirsty my friends!

 

Nice! My new-to-me truck needs some new shocks. These are probably what I'll go with!
