King shocks, talk to EVO if you're interested in them. They are expensive but worth it!!!

you can't get a better made mount for stock location rear shocks then these. thanks evo i love mine and beat the hell out of them.

the ome long travel shocks are also the best bang for the buck imo. more money you can get much nicer but for the budget minded these are hard to beat and have 11 inches of travel. they would work great with your setup.

Glad they are working out for you.

They really are an awesome product once you understand their benefits.

Your right, King shocks are great but that is just a different world. You can’t compare them to a normal shock. I think there is some other modifications you need to do to run them and that = more $$.
