Default What are some good steeet shocks?

Well since my truck is a daily driver and not a work truck, I was wondering what would be good on-road shocks for a really smooth ride. And from what i've heard, with softer shocks theres more body roll, so would that hurt my 1/4 times any? And would lowering it help any (with the 1/4 mile times)? Thanks in advance.

I have KYB shocks on my truck, they give a firm ride, but smooth on the interstate. These shocks work verywell with the rear sway bar in keeping the body roll to a minimum.

I have the Eddlebrocke performers. They are ok they handle well and give good highway ride but they dont really adjust as much as they say they do when your buying them. They where 68 a peice.
