My friend in I are lifting my truck, 4 to 6 inches. We're the ones doing the cut and turn project. I was wondering what brand of shocks I should go with? If you guys can give me any suggestions that would be great. Thank you for your help in advance.
 






Since a 4 to 6 inch lift is about the same as the usual 5.5" superlift, you can pretty much run any of the usual shocks, Rancho, Doetsch Tech, etc.
Look around at what other lifted first gens are running in their specs or registry pages and you'll see there are plenty of options.

Personally I'd go for Bilsteins, since you're doing the cut and turn, might as well modify the radius arms, so pick your shocks and add on a lower shock mount to fit.
