Can someone point me in the right direction? I want GOOD shocks, price isn't a concern but im not looking to pay over $100 a shock. These rough country nitro shocks are complete shit and if im going to be putting on 26s I gotta improve the ride as much as possible. Which ones should I get and from where?

I would suggest bilstiens. Everyone raves about them and for your truck they are under $100 from every local parts house. I think most of your problems are due to the lift you have. Anytime you have to crank its gonna ride rough.

Bilstiens, go to their website to get the correct parts numbers for a 2-3" lift

Yeah im kinda worried that new shocks won't help much and its the crank that's making my ride shit. It's not maxed out though so I can't see how it would be the problem.

Just bought Bilstiens for my truck, although mines stock height. I still have the stock Bilstiens on the truck and the trucks been getting a little bouncy. I hope the new ones ride as good as everybody says. Got them from Summit for $300 for all four.

I found Bilstein shocks but they are "Offroad Shocks". Does that mean they are going to be stiffer? Because that's exactly what I do not want.

Just try this. Pull your front shocks off and drive down the street and back. It will be alittle bouncey but if it rides more to your liking just go out and get a set of medium to light duty shocks for like 20 bucks apiece. Your kit has those front shock spacers so a stock lenth shock will work fine. Worth a shot just to see if your close to your goal and it won't cost a thing untill you settle on shocks.

So I can get away with shocks for stock height vehicles?

I'll try what you said and go from there then.
