My shocks have been worn out for a while so it's time to replace. I'm looking for something better than stock but I don't go off-roading and I don't tow or carry super-heavy loads. I just want shocks that will improve handling but not be stiff nor do I want mushy shocks for "comfort's sake." Looking for that in-between shock. RIght now I'm looking at the
and the Bilstein B6 4600 Monotube.600 Monotube
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Shocks don't really improve handling all that much. The Bilstein's are good. They last a long time. Little firmer than stock ride. I think Cruiser hit on something important ...how firm or 'stock' do you want it to be? A Sensitrac isn't a bad shock either.
What tires do you have now? Are you running P-metric 235/75/15 tires, or a heavier duty LT tire? Are you going to be changing tires to something else anytime soon?
