What is the consensus on the best aftermarket shock for standard (not lifted) Gen 2s?

You'll get probably 3 different suggestions, but I have my truck in the shop right now, and one of the things I'm having done is KYBs on all 4 corners <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

They are better for off-road use, so I'm told.

I have MonoMax's on my GEN II Pajero, they are absolutely awesome shocks, nice and stiff.

What?s the best purchase source for KYB shocks? Are they sold anywhere besides online? Also anyone know of a brick and morter source for 4x4 equipment/acessories in St. Louis, Missouri?

I like my KYBs, on my gen2 and gen1. Kicks Rancho5000s butt. I want to try Bilsteins(sp?) too, I have read people here like those too. I bought my KYBs at Advance Auto chain. They matched the cheapest price I found online, but it was only a small difference.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
