Default 4" Lift Question

I have an 08, and I have 5100's on it. I also have 33" BFG TA KO's. I am looking to get a 4" lift here within 6 months, so set date still doing research. I am wondering about them though. Can I keep my 5100's or do I have to buy new shocks? Also which is preferred? I have been looking at Zone but I'm not too sure. Are 33's too small with a 4" lift or will it look okay? Pics would be awesome! Here are some of my truck now.

Try this website...

You can keep your 5100's... I run 35's with a 4inch... You may be good with 33's..

I'm looking into BDS, same parent company as Zone, but a bit more expensive. Both use strut spacers so the coilovers are moved down just like a level kit, just drop the billy's down to 0 lift.

Rides like my Escslade... Smooth.. Only crappy thing is I can't keep the damn tires balanced... Rancho kits are hands down one of the best kits out there

I am trying to justify getting one still. I would have to get 35's cause I think 33's are too small now, with a lift they would like like stock...so that is a chunk of change to save, on top of saving for a wedding and a house...Truck is last on the list so I guess we shall see how it goes.

If you 2 guys have noticed.... The prices of a 4" lift is going up... Rancho has there's for $2200 now.. That's a 6" lift price... You want to get the most out of your money.... Rancho, superlift, BDS, RCX, and zone...
