It really depends on your budget. Just make sure you go with a long enough shock that it is not limiting your flex. You don't want the shock to inhibit your flex. The RE lifts tend to give you a bit more than 3.5". Sometimes 4-4.5". So be mindful of that too when purchasing shocks.

not much crawling .. mostly deep snow / jobsite mud / highway / work commute

would like smooth / no highway wobbles

King 3.0" triple bypass remote resi shocks would be about the best.
