Default Shocks for my lifted 96

Hey guys, got a 96 extended cab 5.0 F150 4x4 that has a 6-inch Rough Country Suspension lift and 35" Dunlop Mud Rovers. Between the ****ty quality of Rough Country shocks and the weight of my tires, the shocks are completely worn out in about a years time. I'm looking at either getting some Rancho's or some ProComps and was looking for advice, opinions, suggestions, anything, just trying to do it right this time.

The best way is to get your static, extended and compressed measurements. If you can only get static, add 4-5" for travel each way

So, 16" static, + 5" travel = 21" extended and 11" compressed.

Or there some websites where you can buy shocks for your amount of lift to make it easier

From what I have found from research, Rancho and Pro Comp shocks that are designed for a 4" lift are the correct size for the lift I have
