advice on new shocks

Ok so Im almost at the point were im going to blow a few hundred on shocks. I dont know what to get.

I have a 1992 toyota v6 automatic with the IFS

I installed the balljoint spacers and thinking about increasing the length of the rear shackles.

I want to get the Pro Comp shocks.

I havent done anything with the location of the bump stops but I dont have a problem relocating them if It means having a better shock for the future or whatever might come along.

So what shocks do I need to were I can crank the torsion bars and to relax them aswell? Im a but confused please help dont wanna waste my money.

The best shocks I've used are Bilstein BY FAR.

I've heard Old Man Emu makes great shocks, but have no experience with them.

ok but i mean what length shock? I dont mind if I have to relocate the bump stop I just want something that isnt to short so I can crank the torsion bars fully and isnt to long so I can relax them aswell.

Also I would like to put some longer shackles in the rear and maybe a lift leaf also.

i think 0 - 2" you can use the HD version, yellow color.

if you have a lift 3" or more go with the 51xx series.

really, you should search as i don't really know

OME and bilsteins are both really good. Can't complain about either of them. Bilsteins can be purchased for less. I would have to check my receipts but I am fairly sure I paid 252 for all four bilsteins and that included shipping.

Here in canada they want 100 a peace with 5 dollers shipping each shock. I think that was for the 3 inch lift or more though.

Should I just get stock length shocks or should I get the 3 inch shocks?
