Yea they make both. I've have the 2.5" Quicklift up front and Rancho 5000XL shocks in the back. I'd highly recommend.

Depending on the condition, no. But I would recommend that if your going to go through the trouble of changing one set, change both at the same time.

If your not on a tight budget why not go with a nice set of fox or king shocks? They make shocks and coil overs which are way way nicer then struts and improve the ride so much

If you feel like dropping $1000, go for it.

As I said "if your not on a type budget" yes they are expensive but if someone was looking for something nice that would be the way to go. If he has a budget then this direction in not for him
