Rears - you can use a set of shocks from a 2002'ish Chevy 2500HD, they work excellent, long travel, and are cheap and easy to get. Last ones I got were high end Monroe from Advance Auto with lifetime warranty. Can't loose, kill one on a trail, hand it back to them and get another. 
Some will flame for this since they are not Blingstein or Old Man Chickadee but the Monroe's worked very well and were easy to get locally or when needed on road trips/trail runs etc.
Fronts I don't have an option for - but personally I like the OME's.

Well - if $$ are not an issue then YES the remote res Billy's are a top choice - but given his budget I still stand by my recommendations.
To the question of front/rear - Front/rear are very different.

I was very impressed with them and they are a perfect length allowing excellent articulation.
Matt FYI in case you have not found it the receipt for them is in the manual case if you ever need the warranty.
I also have a care package still for you.... Sorry - life has been crazy.

Ol Man Chickadee's are made by Monroe for those who didn't know. They are basically the same as the LT series shocks with urethane bushings.
For the fronts look at FJ80 Land Cruiser shocks... I run Rancho RS5000s and they are about 2" longer than OE shocks and 1" longer than Bilstien HD's (not RR shocks)
I am running FJ80 Ranchos in the front with OME 764 springs (yes... rear MD 2" lift in the front of my D1)
Lift is about 3.5" and still plenty of room to compress and sag with the factory turrets...
tire is BFG KM2 255/85R16 incase there were any questions about that too.. sorry don't really have a good pic to show though
Monroe Reflex I think? Not positive but they were the "best" lifetime warranty Monroe's offered at the local store.

I think I have a set of those. Bought at some backwater NAPA store when the top eye-to-stud thread stripped on my old Bilstein; had to hack the bushing to make fit. Not bad at all, unlike cheap-ass Monroes (the shocks were in $55 range IIRC).Roving Beetle said:Rears - you can use a set of shocks from a 2002'ish Chevy 2500HD, they work excellent, long travel, and are cheap and easy to get.

TF turned out better, though.
