I currently run 1.75/.75 coil spacers 1.25 body lift and 35x12.5 Nitto trail grapplers and not changing the tires. as far as ride now I'm happy. New lift is a full traction 3" coils new longer fixed lowers adj upper front arms, adj front Trackbar rear Trackbar bracket. Going to run rear rock star skids which cuts off the stock shock mount and raises it flush with the control arms and ads a skid.

well i decided to go ahead and order a full set of bilstein 5100 (only 288 shipped )front 3.5-5" lift and rear 2" lift. I figure I add a puck spacer to the lift anyway because of the aev bumpers

He is going to run shocks that are shorter in the rear because of the RockStars.
I ran OME LT shocks front and rear on 3" springs with EVO RockStars. Teraflex rear 2.5" extended bumpstops were enough to prevent the rear shocks from bottoming out.
However, I had to run Currie upper and lower coil spring retainers to keep my rear coils seated on full droop, and I had to run long enough brakelines and re-route the ABS lines sufficient for the additional rear suspension travel.

I think you chose well for your shocks. What are you thinking for bump stop extensions?
