Shock help!

I've been looking and had alot of people give me different answer's. I've got an 05 fx4 with a 2.5 leveling kit and a AAL in the rear, what shocks should i replace them with? Should i get any more length or just stay at factory size? Thanks for the helps guys.

Shock Options

IMHO since you already have it leveled just go with a shock that is suited for your tire size that your swingin'. Stock size tires don't need as much performance from a shock as say, 34" or 35" tires cause of the weight factor. I say Ranco's or Bilsteins are good as well as a couple of others. Give the folks at shockwarehouse a call, see what they think. They are good folks and can hook you up with a good price.

You can't run a loner shock for more lift it that is what yo are wondering. I'd go with the Bilstiens, which allow you to lift the front 2 inches and just sell the leveling kit.
