    I think the 5125s have a little more travel, but someone else can chime in. I have the nitrochargers and they do just fine.

    Does anyone think there is a significant difference in the two?

    Nitrochargers have ~9" of travel, 5125s have 10", 12", and 14" inches of travel. If you go bigger than 10" you are going to have to relocate your shock mounts.

    If I go with 10 do I still get the 3 inches of lift? Sorry... The wheelers website isn't giving me much.

    Should still get 3" of lift. I think the wheelers kit you linked is for 10" shocks. I was hoping someone else would chime in to give you some better info. If anything just give Wheelers a call to clarify.

    Just to clarify those wont give any lift! They just accommodate the 3 inch lift you're wanting...

    So they'll be the shock to use when I buy my AAL. Is that what you're saying?

    Well I can at least say that the stock bumpstops are no longer useful bumps! Ask me how I know... never go above 5mph on a trail with a four wheeler in your bed...your shocks will get angry and make loud bangs at you lol

    Right, theyre just extended length shocks to use when youve lifted the rear.

    I think I'm gonna get these 5125s, mainly just cause they are cheaper. Does anyone have any thing bad to say about this?

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    Do yourself a favor and get some extended bumps, bottoming them out will ruin the shocks in no time. I've got Daystar 4 1/2" bumps custom mounted and they are excellent
    I've got 10" 5125s with my wheelers 5pack and AAL. They have served my needs very well!
