rear shocks

Alright, I got the procomp shocks that come with their 6 inch lift. I added an AAL. I'm looking to get some new shocks and I'm just for some that will make the ride better. Any suggestions on what to get? Money isn't really a ? but I'm not shelling it out for Kings. Would Deaver leaf packs be a better way to go as well for ride quality?

I'd suggest some Bilsteins. The Deaver springs would probably also help.

I hav the 5150's and they are a great shock.

I'd really love to try a set of the ProComp MX-6 adjustable remote reservoir shocks.

Yup, I'd agree with whats been said. The 5150's are known as great shocks. Deaver is always a quality company.

Also, rear Dirt Logic shocks would work. Just another option.

If you want ride quality, swapping springs will give you the biggest difference. My deavers compared to stock is not even really a comparison, its a blow out. They are smooth as butter and perform flawless offroad. I also have them coupled with the bilstein 5125's which are equally amazing. The rear of my truck rides WAY better than the front. I have kings coming for the front, but i chose to pass up kings for the rear as im extremely pleased with my current setup. For the biggest difference go with the deavers, and for even more get the bilstein 5125's.

Get ready to spend 800+ for the deavers though, the 5125's are relatively inexpensive.
