Default Need Shocks, Help with some advice please :)

Hey Guys My 98 F-150 4x4 Got impounded by my brother. It was stolen by my brother at 2 am when I was sleeping(KICKED SOME A**). Anyways I get it back this monday and I want to buy her some shocks as a welcome home present, i also got her new front brakes and and rear shoes. My budget is 275.00 I cant go over that. I am a college student and have a part time so anymore than that would be hard. I was looking at either Rancho, Blistein, skyjacker, or monroe or something else you guys would recommend? I don't due much off roading although I due hit the dirt roads once in a while when I go north in cali to visit family but I would say I drive 60% street, 37% Freeway, and 3% dirt road. I don't have a lift, still has the replacement oem It had when I bought it which have gone maybe 80,000 miles. Everytime I go over a bumb I hear a big thumb so I know it needs new shocks. Sorry for the long post ! Thanks Guys !
