Cant go wrong with the stock Bilsteins. From what I've read over on ZR2USA the Bilsteins are the way to go, and Ranchos are to be avoided.

I've got Rancho RS5000's on my 99 LS 4x4, little stiffer than stock, but overall a pretty comfortable ride IMO

I would try autoanything.com for just about anything you can think of. I have heard a lot of good things about them, price wise and delivery time too. I have not tried them personally, so you can believe what you want. But it never hurts to shop around some just to make sure.
