Default Shock Me!

Okay Guys and Gals, My shocks are on there way out and I am looking for a good replacement. Any suggestions? I was thinking a set of these...

2000 GMC JIMMY Superlift Superide Shock Absorbers 85116 - SummitRacing.com'

Or


2000 GMC JIMMY Pro Comp ES1000 Shocks 117500 - SummitRacing.com

I really know nothing about shocks!!!

Bilstine, They are pricy but worth the cost. back when james sat waaaaay lower with the factory shocks when I would hit some small whoops offroad I would hit the bump stops. With the bilstines no more bottoming out. And on the highway they are smooth since they auto adjust.
Sorry if im sounding like a bilstine advertisement but they are great shocks. Have herd of people taking them off trucks with 100,000 miles and them still working good as new.
