What shocks and struts do I need?

My pathy has the wobbling thing at high and low speeds. I basically know very very little about this stuff and figured I'd take my truck to get lifted and stuff by a professional. But What type of shocks and struts and coils do I need to lift my pathy with a SFD? Is there any low priced ones I could get them? And is there any thing else i need besides a SFD kit, shocks, coils, struts, and coil spacers?

Sorry about this noob question, but I'm still learning about this stuff.

As for the wobbling thing it is your lower control link bushing on your 4 link in the rear (common problem with our trucks) easy to fix with new poly bushings you can order off 4x4parts.com. As for shocks there are many variations of what you can use it just matters what your going to use your truck for whether its wheeling or a mall crawler or a little of both; and it all depends on how much $ you want to spend. For struts I highly recommend KYB GR-2 struts which are very dependable just make sure you get the upper strut mount/strut bearing from a dealership or autoparts store as the ones that come with the struts usually fail and do not re-use your old ones. As for coils you can pack 2" AC lift coild with your SFD for 6" of lift in the front or you can run your stock coils and have just the 4" lift and as for the rear there is a kit that is sold with the SFD to either get some jeep springs to fit or you can order custom springs like me. I suggest you do some research and read this thread and visit this site....
