Question What shock should I get and what height?

I am getting the Rough Country 2.5" bb and dont know if I should get their shocks or other ones. Unfortunately I dont know enough about them to know if they have quality shocks. If anyone can recommend a good quality shock that is reasonable in price. Also what size will I need. Do I just tell the salesperson I have a 2.5" lift?

I hear they have built in bumpstops so I dont have to worry about getting any.

Ordered this kit early last week before their shock option was on the website. I installed the kit this past weekend with the shock extensions. I think that if you disconnect your front sway bar and really flex the suspension you could bottom the shocks before the factory bump stops engage. I decided yesterday to upgrade to the RC Performance 2.2 shocks. I hope to get them soon. I'll let you know what I think of them.

Am I right thinking these shocks will be longer than the stock ones? That means it should actually help with more articulation, correct?

I just got some sky crappers and painted them black. If I dont like the ride I am curious about OME and paint them black also.
