Is this what everyone is running or is there modern alternative?

Shocks control roll, pitch and yaw. Use any of those listed or $24.95 stock shocks from one of our sponsors. You don't need any more modern than that. According to Monroe, shocks control:
Bounce
Roll or sway
Brake dive
Acceleration squat
