Please. I need to purchase shocks and would like input from all you good folks. My 71 Jimmy is going to get a six inch TUFF country easy ride lift, springs in front, and for the time being blocks in back. It will be on the road 80-90% of the time, very little offroad. I'm also installing 35x12.5x16 tires, probably Baja Claw Radials. Thinking of either Rancho RS5000 or ProComp 3000 shocks. Looking for a decent ride. What shocks are you folks using? Give me some pros and cons. Any other shocks I should consider?

Thanks
