Default New shocks

So I'm looking into getting new shocks mine are old and it's just time. Figured since I just added the leveling lift kit j should, but I would also like to add a 2 inch body lift to my truck also. What shocks would you guys recommend and how do I know if they will be long enough with the current and future lift. Any input would be great, thanks!

Well I just got the right shock the other day (rough country sent the wrong shocks with my lift), and I will say the rough country N2.0 ones ride pretty nice. I have no experience with skyjacker or blistein, only stock, the piece of crap ones they sent, and these ones, so keep that in mind.

Did you use blocks in the back as well? A 2.5" lift shock will probly be your best bet. autoanything is pretty comprehensive in shock selection. I like Rancho myself. The plans for a body lift will not affect the shocks you need to use.
