Default Shock opinions!

So I'm assembling all the components for my lift and will be doing it this month, I'm doing 4" spindles, 2.5" coil spacers for the front and 2" shackles and 2" blocks for the rear possibly an add a leaf as well if I'm squatting bad. I wanted to get a good idea of new shocks and brands that I can check out and decide after before I go to do my install.

So I'm asking opinions on length, brand, cheap/expensive I have a 2wd and don't do much offroading other than dirt road campsites, fishing spots and occasional light mudding. I read somewhere that getting 4x4 ranger shocks will work and was wondering about that. Also heard Monroe "sensatracs" are pretty good cheapish shocks with local auto parts store availability and that would be more ideal than waiting for more shipping.


Thanks for the input!

If it is 2wd and you don't offroad, why are you lifting 6 inches ?

Well I take it off road but I don't do any serious crawling or mud bogging or jumping it, lift mostly for looks and some functional use when camping,hunting,fishing
