Best shock for stock 01 250 4 x 4 Diesel?

As the title states....going to replace my shocks in a few weeks, as i have 95K on the clock. It is a 01 F250 Diesel 4 x4 Stock height. Looking to know what is the best shock to get for a smooth highway/ normal road ride. No off roading. I do not want to replace them and have it ride stiff and horrible as it is my daily driver. I appreciate all the input. And any places that would give me great prices would make my job easier as well! Best bang for the buck shocks too if any input there as well.

Thanks again
Tony

Acocording the following website info.. the Bilstein 5100 series shock is designed especially for lifted trucks.. see:
http://www.shockwarehouse.com/cgi-bi.../bst_5100.html I think you need a different series Bilstein..

I put CarQuest Gas shocks on my F350 and they are lovely. Got rid of the float and now I can keep up with the drifting crowd!!

I have just recently replaced my stock shocks with the Rancho RS9000X adjuastable shocks and IN-cab controller.
I am very happy with them!!!
