Question Shock suggestion for a 2003 Tahoe?

I have a 2003 Tahoe Z71. The truck is really nice, but for being the "Z71" off road package, the thing rides like a car.

Anybody got a nice suggestion for a shock upgrade that would make it ride like a TRUCK should?

Thanks . . .

are you going to go off roading with it much? if so, don't read anymore. the Edelbrocks are simply awesome if you can get past the price of them. this is a product that you actually can tell a difference with. a bit firmer ride plus cornering and braking are much improved. you would not be unhappy.

Thanks for the input. I am not a heavy 4x4'er, but I'd like the thing to drive like a truck not a posh cushy Caddilac . . . .

Not tryin to be a dick here but...if you don't like how it rides why did ya buy it?

If you want to firm up the ride, Hellwig makes new swaybars and some performance shocks should help out.
