Quick Shock question for 6" lift...

I have a 6" Fabtech lift and looking for new shocks. What size rear shocks should I get? I might switch to 37" tires once these 35s wear out so Id like to have them a little longer. What size are the fabtech shocks?

Also has anyone changed their front setup other than the fabtech dirt logics?

Yeah and that is on ebay right? That would be the best price.. I wonder if they will let them go for like $360 for the pair if we contact the seller, and say we will be buying two pairs..

Not to sound ignorant or anything, but would the same Fox Shox work with the ProComp 6" kit?

I have a 4" block in the back... looking to upgrade to a Deaver pack (as soon as I figure out what I'm doing with the friggin block and shocks).

THat actually brings up a second question: Which comes first? The spring/block setup or the shocks???

Yes they will work penguin...

Maybe we can get them for $340 or something, if the four of you are interested for sure, I will contact the seller, and see what kind of a deal I can get if the four of us buy 4 pairs together...
