Bilstein Shock Question

I have been looking around trying to figure out what shock length would work for my truck. I was talking with someone threw PM the other day and I was told that 10" would work front and rear even with a slight lift. I'm purchasing some 1.5" BJs and probably some Shackles or New Springs, but no higher then 1.5-2" over stock. I'm sure the rear might sag down some especially when I add my rear bumper. Now my Questions :

I'm thinking about purchasing some 5100s or 5125s
1. Would the 10" work front and rear?
2. If not, what do you suggest?
3. Does Bilstein make a steering stabalizer? are they any better then OME?

Thanks in Advanced

I just received my 5125's and the rears should be just fine. For the front however make sure you order the correct shock. I mistakenly ordered the "eye" connector and not the stud. I now need to use either a bolt on or weld on shock hoop to accommodate the 5125's. As for the 10"s that should be good. Compared to my Sky Jackers these shocks look massive.

My Yota currently has a 2" BL, Downey Heavy duty rear shackles, and I will be doing the BJ Spacers soon! 10"s should be fine, but hopefully others will chime in for you also.

Can't speak to the shocks but the OME steering stabilizer I just put on is great. That's the best money I've spent on this truck so far. I'll be interested in how you like the Bils once you get everything set up.
