    The rear shocks aren't adjustable per se, but their overall length is such that they can accommodate anything from stock height to 2 or 3" of lift.

    If you don't see yourself with more than 3" of lift and you're on a budget, just stick with the 5100's. If you aren't sure what lift you want to end up with, get the 5100's now, and worry about nicer shocks when you get your final suspension/leaf setup.

    Or, if you are pretty set on getting your new springs now, get the best shocks you can afford, or are willing to spend the cash on. If the cost difference is a few bucks, get the nicer ones. But if the cost is double, maybe hold off.

    So, in the end, you need to decide what lift/performance level you want first, then buy the nicest shocks you can afford that fit that bill. That might just be 5100's. Or, maybe you'll end up with Kings on custom relocated mounts...
