Front shock leaking

Ok guys. Found out this morning that I have a front shock that decided it was tired. It bled on the driveway.Question is, I have a 2'' leveling kit and run 315 75 16's. What shock do you guys recommend, and should I have a steering stabilizer? What about dual shocks on the front or is that overkill since I dont do much off roading? Just thinking since I have the larger tires if I need all this. Thanks Bill

The bilstein 5100 series is a nice upgrade, but as I recently discovered, the Rancho 9000 series is a great shock too. And the Rancho one says made in the USA.

315/75 isn't too large a tire, but a stabilizer will make a noticeable difference. I'm surprised you don't have one already.
