Sorry one more question, would you go with the rock sport or the fox shocks? I would love the 6 pack but don't have that deep of pockets yet.

Let me ask why you would want the 6 pack shocks?

They look cool and have long extended and compressed lengths. Don't mention the fact that they require service at more frequent intervals and nitrogen charging.

Like karls10jk said, they look cool and have long extended and compressed lengths. Lol, seriously though, thought they might have better control of the side to side. That is a huge problem with the lift I have now on top of to much weight for the aev. Though about the falcon 3.3 because of beinf able to dial in with the adjustment. But with the M.C. lift I'm pushing the wife at that price range. Really wanting to stay around $2700. Only had the AEV lift on for almost a year. So hopefully I can recoup some of the money selling it. So all said and done just trying to get the best shock for the lift.

There's not really a reason you have to start with the full game-changer, is there? If you are looking to find some budget for upgraded shocks, you could opt for a single set of control arms at each end instead of both sets (or even just the front lowers or brackets). Then later on you could add the other sets of arms if you choose to, or not.

I am running the OME long-travel shocks that MC used to sell with these lifts (equivalent to the rocksports they are now offering). I like em fine, even if they aren't fancy rebuildables/adjustables/needabunchofserviceables.

The rocksport shocks ride very good with the MC lift and I would not spend the money on the fox shocks unless you feel you need the bling. I would not run the falcons either unless you use your shocks to bang on rocks like in their videos.
