need shock info

I would like to put some bilstien shocks on My truck. I have really heavy duty springs on the rear of My truck. I do not know how to get the right ones. How do I figure out what shock I need for My truck
I would also like the best place to order them from
If anyone has a minute or two and they would like to give me some help with My questions It would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Ron

Shockwarehouse.com is a sponsor on here. I think they give a discount for FTE users. I can't remember exactly what it is. I got my Bilsteins from them. I have the same truck you do only with the 6.8l. Made a big difference!

Thanks Ameinig,
I like the site and I found the shocks that will fit on a stock truck. My only problem is the rear of My truck sits really high. I have 7 leave springs and a 3 7/8" block on the back. the front is stock but I am really sure the back is not a stock height.
I just do not have an answer for this. Maybe one of you very intelligent truck guys can help
Thanks again Ameinig
Ron

I like the Rancho XLs. I had the Bilsteins. Took them off with less than 2000 miles on them and replaced them with the XLs.

If you want Bilsteins I have them- for $200 I'll ship them to you.

That sounds like stock rear set up for 1999 250. Mine is stock in the rear and is the same. I put an Icon mini spring pack leveling kit on the front. Sits just slightly high in the rear now. I bought the stock length Bilsteins and they fit just fine. When I bought it the rear was very high compared to the front.
