Default Options on shocks

Well iv got my 2in bb in and one of my stock shocks is on its way out I'm pretty sure, squeaks with any tire flexation. So I plan on replacing all my shocks. I really love the crazy colors shocks, but iv go no idea on what options are out there. Google didn't pull up many results. I'm lolling to keep this on as much of a budget as possible, 100$ and below per shock is ideal. Lmk what's out there and post pictures of yours.

Bilstein 5100's.. Usually about 79 bucks a shock, and a very nice ride. I ran the 5150's on my old ZJ when they came out. Snapped em going over a bridge on the street. Found out it was pretty common, so I'd steer away from those. But I have run the 5100's on both Jeeps and my Dodge diesel. They didn't last as long as the Ranchos, but it was worth it for the ride difference.

I guess that was unfair for this forum. For the Jeeps I haven't had an issue on longevity, it was on the trucks that they don't seem to last.
