Default Shocks Upgrade

I had a Teraflex leveling kit installed today and the mechanic said it would be a good idea if I installed longer shocks. Any suggestions on what i need to get?

I am thinking about throwing a tera leveling kit on my new rubi and I am gonna add some shock extensions and stuff to make it have more travel. If you have good shocks now tera makes good extensions.

I had old man emu long travels on my last jk and loved them, but they aren't cheap.

Look at the OME or Bilstein.

I just got a Teraflex 2.5" coil kit. I went with shock extensions because my stock shocks only have 22000 km on them. Maybe I'm cheap, but I didn't want to spend all the extra money on replacing perfectly good shocks. Figured I could spend it on other mods. I'll get better shocks when I need them.
From what I've heard (not confirmed) shock quality goes in this order: X, Sahara, Teraflex, Rubicon.

I installed the Teraflex kit about two months ago and stayed with the factory shocks. No issues what so ever.
