WAIT TILL THE LIFT.
When you do the lift then get new shocks....ou will want to measure or have a 4x4 shop measure for you, eye to eye for the front and rear.
If you really want to get technical you need to let the new lift springs settle (Couple weeks) then measure the truck at rest, jack it up, disconnect the shocks and sway bars and cylce the front and rear suspension as much as you can get (to limits up and down) and measure at full compression and at full droop. Then you will be able to select the exact shock you need. Warning doing it this way makes your shocks travel the full length and if you dont have your bump stops and limiting straps in place correctly you can break your new shocks....
