Need new shocks, need some help

OK so i have an 8 inch fabtech lift kit, Well i need new shocks for it. I cant find just the fabtech shocks for an 8 inch lift, can i buy other companys shocks for an 8 inch lift kit. That is all i need is the 4 shocks i figured it wouldnt be to much money, every time i search alls i come up with is the 8 inch lift kits not just the shocks. Any help would be great

Can i buy any shocks that will work with an 8 inch lift?
I really want the fabtech dirt logic shock, i didnt have them before can i get them now and will they work?

I think you need to ask this in a suspension section. You never listed what your vehicle is. I would call the lift kit company.

I bought bilstiens for my 8" lift. Skyjacker and procomp also have 8" shocks available. Get the bilsteins. The part # was hard to find but they do make them.

I've had Pro-comps on my truck since 2008 now has 110k and they are still doing fine. Lifetime replacement and a lot less $$ than Bilsteins. I like Bilsteins but not for the money difference.
