Shocks...which ones?

So with my spindle lift up front i can run normal sized shocks right? travel has not chnaged if im correct...

For the rear the distance between shock mounts has changed...so i would need longer shocks there....correct?

I was looking at some bilsteins...what are some good prices on these, i found some on ebay for trucks with 3-6" of lift...

And then normal ones...

Also are those good prices?

Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

2wd rangers the travel does not change with spindles nor does the length.

Spindles change NOTHING about the geometry of an a-arm ranger. The only thing that will change the geometry is a t-bar crank.
