Im not a 4x4 guy, but i know the desert truck guys have trucks that get in upwards of 30 inches of travel out of their suspensions. A couple of the brands of shocks and coil overs they use are king shocks, fox shocks, and i think another one is called race runner shocks or something like that

think the last thing you need is shocks..

it'll take a whole bunch of other things to get a lift that high.

Do search for pirate 4x4 they will be able to point u in the right direction. Rockwell will be beefy but if your goibg to drive this monster then i would suggest a differwnt axle. So hd dana 60s that are beefed up would probally suit your on the road needs. The rockwell are very low gear ratios hence y alot of rock rigs use them. Lift that high is going to be some major fab work as well. I am sure you have done something like this lift before. Also check you laws on lift requirements i know alot of states have hight restrictions or require certain thibgs to be added for safty. Oklahoma has a headlight law that requires the headlights not to exceed a certain hieght. Some states require take a measurement of bumper height. Good luck with the build and post pics as u go would love to c your progress.
