Just about any name brand shock will be an improvement. I'd do it myself, they are really easy.

A little help on the rear shocks is to unbolt the bed and raise it to gain access to the upper nut. I slid a 6X6 between the frame and the bed for the room I needed.

Spray some penetrating oil on all of the bolts a couple of days before you plan on replacing the shocks. This should help with removing the old shocks.
