Shock recommendations

I got an f150 2wd 1990 and am gonna replace the shocks. Any recommendations on these? I'm not looking for top of the line but I want a quality shock. I've never replaced the shocks and I've noticed alot of body roll in turns and the truck bounces alot. Also, any tricks I should know before I get into it. I'm just gonna get it up on jack stands but hopefully my work will let me use a lift

thanks

Josh

O'Reilly and AZ are both doing buy 3 get 1 free on Monroe/Gabriel shocks. Go to one of those places and load up. If your truck is stock, then the regular Gabriel or Monroe will be great for you. The shocks are REALLY easy to swap. Very straight forward with just a few bolts. Have fun with it.
