Some n00b Questions: tie downs, shocks, swaybars, etc.

Unfortunately shocks are such a subjective topic it ends up being a crapshoot in the end. What I don't like about the 4600 is that they list the same part number for the front of a half ton with a small block as they do a 1 ton wih a big block or diesel. Since new shocks are better than old Monroes, anything is better than what I have now.
