I got the Bilstein shocks. Little expensive but nice.

I used Rancho RS5000's on both of my trucks ('87 GMC quad front/ '89 Suburban 33" tires) and they do the job quite well for what I use my trucks for. I was on a budget and between both trucks I needed 10 shocks. They keep my 33" rubber planted on the road. A good shock for the money.

I assume you need drop shocks as you asked about toxics, so neither of the above listed shocks will work for ya. I have used stock bilsteins, toxics and doestch techs. Avoid the toxics. My stock bilsteins ride better and they don't even have full travel with a 5" drop up front. The doestch techs are fantastic, Love em.
