so, decided i might pick up some shocks and do that fun thing while im tinkering with my front end.

my question is this.. which ones?

im not 100% set on Rancho shocks with/without the resivor, but ill say like 85%
with the remaining % going to the edelbrock res shocks.

so i am not running a lift, but i do have the T-bars cranked a little.
37 inch tires with the air ride suspension in the back.

so i guess my question is.. do i get a shock that has a few extra inchs of travel?
2 inchs?
what are the pros and cons?

i know im going to have some bounce going over potholes and what not because of the 37 inch tires, im just trying to make them not so harsh. i enjoy watching the wifes' rack bounce up and down, but for some reason she doesnt care for it much.

so what are your thoughts...besides posting a pic of the wifes' rack

I like my bilsteans and I have the Truxxxx leveling kit installed for the front and rear. The bilsteans are about 1.5" longer than the stock shock in the front and rear. I really like them, not the shocks you are looking at but a nice compromise.

well i guess i am asking also if i can go with longer shocks.

i dont really know much about them, other than thier function.

i think that is my bigegst issue. not sure if i need/should get shocks that are extended.
