Next up on the "make it better" list was shocks... I wasn't exactly thrilled with my new ECE shocks. They left a lot to be desired, especially in the back of the truck... they felt very bouncy. Apparently I wasn't the only one that felt this way:

I highly recommend measuring your truck at ride height before ordering, as the rear shocks recommended by another poster in that thread are incorrect.
I measured my shocks to be 11" up front and 14.5" in the rear, center of bolt to center of bolt.
The dimension are in the link below. I went with ones that looked to have a decent amount of play up and down from ride height.

I ended up with the 4809G up front with a range of 9" to 13-1/2” 9”. I went with 4095G for the rear with a range of 11-3/4” to 18-1/2”.
So was it worth it? The shocks were about $160 total from Summit. At that price, yes, it was worth it. The truck (especially the rear) is A LOT less "bouncy." It feels a little more planted and takes bumps better. Still doesn't ride as good as it did at stock height, but pretty close.
*Side note... I freakin' HATE shocks that don't have an upper cover. They look cheap and unfinished...
