    Take a look into the bilstein 5100s. Really solid shocks, other stuff is compared to these guys.

    I've got four of them waiting to be stuck on my 1998 tacoma.

    For my everyday run-around rig, I usually run Monroe sensa-trac shocks.

    Monroe shocks for that application.  You do not need stiff handling performance shocks or offroad shocks.  Just get plain Monroe OEM equivalent.  Widely available and cheap.
