New shock suggestions

My truck, lifted as indicated below, needs new shocks. The dirt road I live on (and after the winter we have had, road is a term I use loosely) has killed off the cheap junk shocks that came with my skyjacker kit.

I am willing to spend the money to get good shocks, but don't want to waste cash on hype. What shocks have you all had good luck with both on an off road, particularly those of you with lifted rigs?

I just put a set of ProComp ES9000`s in my truck about a month ago, a big improvement on the worn out junk that was in there.

Im running the Rancho 9000's 5 way adjustable shocks on mine now and they seem pretty good.I think one of the guys has a set posted in the classifieds now.However I dont know if they are for a lifted truck or not.

I put a set of those 9 way rancho 9000s in my blazer... Nice shocks. Everything fromc cadilac to no suspension. Plus you can spend the extra cash and get the in cab adjuster. Best money I spent on that truck.
