For general everyday use, a lot of folks like the bilstein 5100 series. They're a little on the expensive side, but I had them in my 04 ram and loved the ride. A great compromise of handling vs stiffness. A little stiffer than new OEM, and tend not to wear out as fast, at least in my experience.

On a budget, Monroe sensa tracs are decent. Rears are $30ish each from rock auto, they're the yellow ones. For the front, I bought all new coil over setups from Monroe as well. Part number 171111. They run about $110 each, but no hassle with having to take your old coils off and reinstalling them.

Bilsteins.. Only a few bucks more than normal shocks and lifetime warranty.. Plus they ride great. Can't beat it.

Is it for the '06 that they went from torsion bars to coils in the front for the 4WD?

Yes'sir
Bilsteins are awesome, especially with a 2wd then you can use the SRT spec shocks.

While on the Bilstein shocks topic I have one question. Has anyone that is running them noticed a difference with payload or towing capabilities? I've heard people say you can haul/tow more than the stock shocks

i replaced all my shocks with bilstein 5100's and i love them, i don't remember exactly the price for all four because i bought new tires and leveled it at the same time but they were something like 60-80 buck a piece. 4 wheel parts has decent labor fees on them as well. unfortunately at the time i didn't know how to do it myself, but i'd definitely check out the bilsteins

That's the direction I was thinking. Thanks for the clarification
