Shocks for lifted Tacoma...

I'm going to be ordering my lift today and was wonder what shocks I should get with it.
I've read that since im going to be putting on about 2.5-3" (OME firm coils and toytec shackels) of suspension and 1.5" body that i will need new rear shocks. I figured i might as well get new ones all the way around.

I was looking at Rancho RSX's but ive never really heard anything about them.

I dont want OME because they are just too expensive.

Also, dont i have to tell the person I order from what lift will be on the truck so they can give me the right size shock?

Thanks
--Sam

I looked at those online. I've also heard things about them on here. What makes them superior to the Ranchos or others?

I had rough country shocks on the rear. I got them through Wheeler's Off Road. Very Cheap and they did great. The Bilstien 5100 are good also but more $.

I would say OME for the front and Bilstein 5100 for the rear. I believe they have 12" of travel and remote resevoir

I already ordered RSX's from 4wheel parts. Came out to be about $60 a piece shipped. Not too bad.
