I love them. They are adjustable and monotubes. You can mount them upside down with the shock body up to protect the shock. You can run them soft or stiff.
Good shocks and worth it IMO

FYI though, you only need two MX6 shocks for the rear. The reason the stage I kit (the one you are looking at with ES9000's) only comes with rear shocks is because you re-use your factory front coilovers combined with a spacer. The Stage II kit comes with MX6 rears and MX6 Coilover shocks up front in lieu of reusing the stock coilover and adding a spacer.

Cool, could i still switch out the fronts if I wanted to? Just like the fact knowing that all shocks have 0 miles on them. thanks.

Absolutely. If you really want to do that, I would suggest going Stage II Pro Comp which will have all of the shocks I mentioned. Thats what I'm running.

If you are on a budget, You could do the stage one pro comp and substitute MX6's in the rear, and Bilsteins up front. Possibilities are pretty much endless as long as the shock fits.

He's right, when I lifted my truck I went with the Procomp stage I lift and after awhile I wanted to get rid of the spacer so I went with Fabtech Dirt Logics. If you could do it just save some time and get the Stage II from the start.

Well im getting a good deal on the lift for a grand. It's new so I dont really need shocks but was just wondering. i figured 500 more for shocks for a total of 1500 since I'm also buying some rims and tires for another 1500.

Hash is right. I have never heard a bad word about the Fabtech dirt logics. The aftermarket "big" coilovers look great and ride great. They are expensive but an excellent investment if you like a smooth ride on and off the road.

btw, you can usually get at least 2 additional inches of lift from aftermarket coilovers. If you look at my pics, I have plenty of room in the fenderwell to run 37's.
