I just ordered Rancho RS9000s for the rear from Moe's Performance, he is a advertiser on this website.
But, there are literally endless shocks to pick from.

If you're going to buy shocks anyway, I'd get the bilsteins and throw away the spacers

I can guarantee the squeaking is due to the leveling kit, ask me how I know...lol..

My leveling kit busted both upper strut mounts after just 30 000km and busted both UCA.

I found the picture of the squeaking, It was the rubber of the upper strut mount rubbing on the inside of the leveling kit. Take your shock off and check for that first.
