Re: Any suggestions for new shocks.

I couldn't find the 5100's at stock height, only the 4600's. But have heard great reviews on the 4600's too.

4600 stock height:
Front - 24-009232
Rear - 24-009331
Option Front Quad - 24-010269

$279 for the 4600's at 4 Wheel Parts

However, I did use them for mine and I'll say, it was less than pleasant to get the correct ones in my hands. A LOT of babysitting and getting wrong ones. Then re-ordering, etc.

I think shockwarehouse has been a good source. Check on this though.

Re: Any suggestions for new shocks.

I have heard good things about the Bilstein 5125.

If you are not sure, I would give "Off Road Designs" a call and tell them what you want to do; I think they will be helpful.

Good Shocks = worth the money!
