Anyone change out the stock shocks for a not so bouncy ride?

Many threads on here. One in particular lists the most popular choices and lists them by firmness.

I'm looking into to doing the same. From what I gathered eilbach is good for street. If you have intentions of offroading than fox 2.0 or bliestein. I'm leaning towards fox because I don't want to rule out off roading.

Some feel the single rear spring is the actual problem, it's just finding a shock that best controls the spring.
I know you already got the "do a search" but really, you could read for hours on here about what you are asking, it's a common concern.

There are lots of threads here, and lots of info other places also. I have a 2wd for gravel and pavement with an emphasis on payload and towing. I found the stock rear too bouncy. I did not want super firm, but wanted less rebound. I put Bilstein 4600’s on the rear. Not as stiff as 5100’s, but better rebound control. Seems to work well.
