Default Shock Suggestions for a 5.5 RK Mid-Arm Lift

I was set on going with the Bilistine shocks and so far I think I will go with the:

BE5-E174-H0 5100 Series JEEP WRANGLER JK 4.5 LIFT FRONT ZINC

BE5-E175-H0 5100 Series JEEP WRANGLER JK 4.5 LIFT REAR ZINC

However i heard that, they just offer a little less droop than what people usually like to see.It looks like these are the best fit that bilistein has to offer now.

So, any suggestions to look at keeping in mind Ontario winters and the salt
the lift is 5.5" x faxtor mid arm

Any experience/alternative shocks I should look at?
or not an issue to worrie about

Thanks
B

I should add Rock Krawler suggests:

Front Shock - 19" Collapsed to 31" Extended
Rear Shock - 19" Collapsed to 29" Extended

Rock Krawler is shooting to debut some new shocks at EJS, along with other companies.

What's your price range? KING coilovers, Teraflex ELKA (although I haven't read any owner reviews of these yet), Teraflex, and Bilstein all sound good.

Thanks!, trying to keep the cost about the same as the Bilstin 5100 series.
When is the EGS (show)?, perhaps I should wait
