I know, it's a truck, but if you get Bilsteins you won't be sorry.

When I had my '06 I swapped the factory struts at 60k to KYB offerings. Slightly better ride than stock. Costs were low on Amazon.

I have some aftermarket rears for sale that would fit your truck. I pulled them from my '13 earlier this Spring. PM if you want.
