I don't have any brands to recommend either. Motorcraft is a sure bet, but I imagine any of the major brands will do as well in this case.

I put in a leveling kit myself (highly recommended to anyone that wants one), it came with really easy simple directions on how to take out the front shocks/strut assembly, then the shop here should be able to help getting the actual shock out of the spring area (gotta love my non technical terms). I guess the fronts might include the costs of the whole thing, not just the shocks inside... easier install that way though, but idk if it's worth the extra $100 per shock to do it that way... sure hope someone who knows more than us chimes in...
