My overall impression of Skyjacker is not positive. People say their stuff wears out quickly and sags. Quality alternatives aren't much more money.

+1 Never ran them but if you search they have not gotten positive reviews. Generally most people are running Bilsteins or OME.

Witch model Bilsteins? Will they give me a decent ride? I'm still running the stock X shocks with extensions w/ my 2.5" TF coil lift. (it's my daily ride)

Bilstein 5100 Recommended Part Numbers ( I think, Ask Dave @ Northridge)

Front - BE5-E1578-HO

Rear - BE5-E671-HO

(Edit:*subjective* I hear the OME Shocks will give you the best/ most comfort in your daily driving.)
