Question Best Shocks for a Ranger Supercab

Anyone have any input on the best shocks to replace the stock shocks with on a 98 Ranger Supercab 4X2. I'm looking for something a bit smoother on the street than the stock shocks provide. Thanks in advance for the input guys

I have the Edelbrock IAS shocks in my Explorer. I think they are great! When I look at doing the suspension over in the Torino I'm gonna check on getting those for the car too.

I think I had gotten em for about $60 a piece. A buddy of mine liked the ride so much, he went and got them for his Bronco.

Definietly the Edelbrock IAS shocks are the way to go. Bilstein makes a great shock also just has a stiffer ride to them.
