Rancho RS5000X shocks are a great affordable replacement that ride well, just paint the shock bodies to make them last longer and remove the sleeve they put over the shaft.

Pros: affordable, ride well
Cons: paint to last longer

If you decide to go this route, Gabriel Ultra shocks and struts from Rockauto.com are good. Avoid Monroe and the cheaper brands. KYB are OEM, but the aftermarket ones are stiffer than the OEM, but are excellent quality.

Pros: Gabriel Ultra shocks good
Cons: Monroe, cheaper brands avoid

I used a set of Gabriel Shocks for the front and back of my 98 LX, they are spring assisted load shocks. Super cheap, but it's been 5 years and they are still going strong.

Pros: still going strong
Cons: super cheap

I haven't really been impressed with the RS500x. Better than Rough Country but not by much.

Pros: better than Rough Country
Cons: not very impressive
