maybe go with some bilstiens? to me it doesn't sound like your wantin the 6" lift. i believe they make shocks for the 97-03's and have heard nothin but good things about them and the rancho's

yea we have rancho 9000 on my dads chevy, and im def interested in the 6 inch lift at some point moneys just the issue right now. Im doin the torsion key 3 inch lift next weekend then the 3 inch body lift after that. then hopefully sometime down the road i can get the 3.5'' spindle lift and swap the blocks in the rear for 6'' lift leaf springs to give me about a total of 10 inches of lift
