Default Shocks and sway bar?

I've been considering replacing my shocks and adding a rear sway bar to my blazer. So i'm curious as to what the best shocks are. What are your experiences with shocks and what would you recommend? Also does anyone have experience with a rear sway bar? I use this vehicle 80% on-road so I'm looking to increase road performance as this is my daily driver.

Ranchero air adjustable shocks are great, you can adjust them to your needs

Default Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I bought a set of Bilstein shocks and have liked them allot. I had a set of Ranchos on before but they became shot after only a few thousand miles. My rides a little bit stiffer at slow speeds than I'd like with the B's but it's probably because I have a lift. But I'd still highly recomend Bilsteins to anyone.
