What kind of drop do you have out back? I used the edelbrocks on my 99 i did a DJM shackle and hanger kit in back. the ride was almost like stock. Now if you changed out your leaf springs to do the drop thats a different story....been their and done that.

I put my stock leaf springs on and used a shackle and hanger kit (DJM) for the rear loweing. Then changed my front to DJM using lower control arms. What a difference in ride. I sacraficed a little handling for ride quality. But i will take ride qualtiy ANY day of the week.

I guess what im trying to say is that you can change to the soffest shock and still have a stiff/bouncy ride due to the lowering of the truck. My 99 extended cab did not ride smooth as silk, but it was MUCH better than my buddies 03 reg cab with the same lowering kit and shocks.
