Shocks?!?!?!?!

The HDs (blue/yellow) are valved specifically for our trucks and many people say they offer a slightly nicer ride then the 5100. Furthermore, they coem with a lifetime warranty, which is nothing to sneeze at.
That being said, I went with the 5100 on my stock truck for 2 reasons--
1) I eventually plan to upgrade my suspension ,probably including a 2" lift, which means the 5100 will still work
2) My entire truck is white and silver and black, and I just couldn't bring myself to put a yellow and blue schock on it....

I hate to ask this, but if money was no object,for a 06 Lbz cc dully long bed what shocks are the best. I would like to do the cognito upper control arms,keys and maybe 1.5 blocks In the rear,. along with air bags to help out. With this gmc I will be towing a 32 foot cat speed boat, 36 foot raptor toy hauler and a 28 foot motorcycle trailer. I don't want this gmc to ride harsh my ford f350 7.3 (with everything that banks makes) does that for me just fine. If the gmc comes out the way I hope I will be giving the f350 to my girlfriend she loves that big red truck the ford has pro comp mx6's on it and I am not happy with them at all the settings are to hard or to soft the shocks need a setting of like 4.5-4 3/4 to have a nice ride. With the gmc I want my cake and eat it to and I want the cake to taste good!!! Thanks for the help

Ok, I was looking at the Yellow and Blue for my stock truck and found F4BE52549HO, for $66 each (front) using Price Grabber website which found the price at the Tire Rack. The AutoZone price for the same shock was $75.99. Appears to be the cheapest I could find for my Dodge 2500 1997 4x4.

Just a note, I used the autozone website to search the shocks available for my rig. I then used their listed reference numbers (cut and paste) to search other websites/Google. Autozone had several choices in Bilstein for my truck, but I have no lift or money so the yellow and blue are pricey enough for me. Good luck.
