Just ordered a lift kit !!!!! What shocks?

The wife was asking what I wanted for x-mas and I of course said "truck stuff". Anyway she's seen me eyeballing a lift kit onlnie and told me to go ahead and order it, so of course I did.

I hope I'll be satisfied with this set up, I'll be replacing the stock shocks soon but, hopefully I can use them for now. Front has stock, a month or two ago I put some Rancho 5000s on the rear. Looks like I'll have to buy a grinder as apperently some grinding has to be done for the bj spacers. Time to do some research!

I'd take a look at the stickie linked below if you haven't already, it has some great recommendations.
