Need new Shocks and possibly a Lift

Hey guys, im new to 4runner scene, i just recently bought me a 2000 4runner Limited 4wd and love it. I have read alot on this forum, but i wanted to ask you what shocks should i go with, ive seen there are alot of brands on ebay, but thought id ask the pros or should i just go with oem.

Also, im planning to lift it in the near future, and wanted to see what would you suggest to go with, and how much of a lift is safe to drive, with no other things needed to upgrade.

thanks in advance

if you want to lift it than go with fabtechs kit with dirt logic shocks or if you need shocks before the lift than bilsteins 5100 or poly performance bbcs shock both a great on/offroad shocks very durable as well

read up over on Sonoran Steel website.

The lift you choose may affect your shock choice.

I would urge you to consider doing it all at once to save time and install charges or do the back end springs and shocks and then do the front end.

Some folks are not crazy about spacers-some folks don't need all that much lift-the possibilities are endless....find pics of rigs you like and see what they are running.
