Default Shock advice

Ok I've had my 4" superlift in for 2 years now and I can't put up with the harsh on road ride any longer. Will changing out the shocks alone solve this? If so what shocks are you running and what is your impression on them.

What shocks do you currently have? (Haven't heard of super lift shocks) Also what budget are you looking at? Bilstein or OME are good decent price shocks. Otherwise you can drop some money and get King or Fox.

In running the superlift standard shocks that came with the kit. I'd rather not blow the price of an entire lift on shocks alone. What I'm really looking for is a softer street ride.

My Superlift rode great with bilsteins, the springs(especially rear) were sagging though from the weight I tote in it. Got Teraflex now, no saggy.
