Default Suspension recommendations for comfort

Currently have a stock suspension setup and want something not as jarring as I live out in the country where roads are terrible. Would swapping out the shocks to Bilsteins be the most economical move? Not really looking to drop as I scrap with stock ride height. Thanks fellas

I didn't think Bilstein made oem replacements for our cars. I thought the Koni yellows on the soft setting felt better than oem. You could give that a try.

Odds are bilsteins will be firmer than stock. Also bilsteins are typically heavily digressive which will make things worse on rough roads.
