Shock preferance

Finally got done getting the suspension fixed from the previous owner and to my liking on stance. After 3 sets of different size blocks for the rear, I settled with the 3 inch ones to add with my 2 inch. So there rear is 5 inches all together which gives me a rake for when I tow.

Now what is a good shock to go with that will not break the bank?

Front suspension is the 2.5 leveling kit from Zone Offroad.

Rear is 3 more inches making 5 total.

My thinking is the front the stock length shocks should work since the mount points didnt change. But for the rear I dont know what length to go with. I was thinking of going with the Zone Offroad setup and getting the dual stailizer for the front to, since the products I recieved from them seemed to be very good quality.

Any input is appreciated.
