    I cant tell if you want front or back, if front "Rancho Quick Lift" spring/shock assemblies will give your front 2-2.25" of lift. They come assembled & the shocks are firmness adjustable. Mine have been on for just over a year & have preformed great, (dailiy driver) . Try ebay.

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    what rear lift do you have? typical shock travel for rear is 8 and 8.5"

    you can customize the rear shock and find a set that offers around 10" of shock travel... if you get into Bilsteins, they make 10" and 12" travel short body shocks that will fit... also calculate your extended and compressed lengths to find the right shock... you will need to cycle your rear suspension to take those measurements... if you don't or can't do that, a safe bet would be the 10" travel short body shocks from Bilstein... I can't remember offhand, but I think they may be the 7100s...
