If you're handy and willing to look, you can buy a set of Kings that need to be rebuilt for about that cost. No need to run the lift they're capable of. The upside is that you'd Never need to buy shocks again as they're rebuildable (replace the oil every other year).
If you want new and no fuss, then the Bilstein 6112/5160 combo is excellent. That's what I bought/run and I couldn't be happier... well, less cost would have made me happier, but as far as function goes I'm very pleased. Again, capable of lift but I'm running stock '99 height (plus or minus about a half inch). Their main benefit is a bigger body, which means more oil which translates to a little longer life and better performance over sustained rough conditions (washboards). I've punished mine with more than 30 miles of continuous washboards without any problem.
Below that you have a number of cheaper options that I know next to nothing about. A couple Bilstein options (5100/4100?), KYB gas-a-justs (which are supposed to be close to OEM for on-road performance) and a host of stuff no one talks about much on this forum.
