Shocks aren't made to raise the vehicle,especially the front.Use different springs,hangers,etc for the rear, raised spindle,for the front.

Alot of the guys like KYB's, I have them on both of mine and they seem to be working out pretty good. If you want to step up in price and quality from there the ones from QA1 get a lot of votes.
