If they seem tired, a new set can make a noticeable difference with cornering and general sure-footedness. You can get a bushing kit, or new end link sets for a reasonable price. The wheel/rotor size has no bearing on anything - these came with 16s stock in many trims.

All good stuff. OEM, KYB or Bilstein 4600 are all good options for a stock height and stock-like ride. Good for comfort and will get you where you need to go.
I'd be a bit surprised if you have a 15" wheel 2001 4WD - I don't think they were doing 15" wheel 4WDs by then... If your speedo reads slightly higher than your actual speed (say shows 70 when you are going 68mph by GPS), then you have the correct size wheels/tires on there. The door sticker will likely still say 15" wheels/tires - ignore that...
