Default Offroad lights & Shocks

Well my birthday is coming up, so I was thinking about a couple improvements to my truck. First, Im wondering what kind of OFFROAD lights you guys like. Im not talking about putting on a while bunch of driving lights, i mean like real Offroad lights. I am not looking to spend a fortune on them, but I think a pair of real nice offroad lights would be better than slapping on a whole bunch of driving lights and calling them offroad lights.

And Im also thinking about getting some new shocks. I have a hunch that my truck would ride a lot better with some nicer shocks, because the ones i have now are just the cheap ones that came with my lift. Which ones do you guys like? gas shocks? Im looking at the Pro Comp ES9000...

I love my KC HiLite SlimLites. They are 6" slim profile lights and I have them in the Long-Range/Off Road application and they are super bright and point out the deer far up ahead of me. Got then for $250 off AutoAnything.com

Have a set of Hella 500's on my front bumper of my F150 that I love. Have a set of KC Daylighters on the front bumper of my XJ Cherokee as well as the KC Rally series spots on the roof rack. Used to have a set of floods up there as well but I'm debating about swapping my Hellas for them. The daylighters and Hellas are wired into the high beams and get used religiously (pretty much when ever the head lights are on) so I never keep the covers on.
