I have the t/s lift and I am going to be replacing the shocks. I read there is no need for longer shocks but I would like to know what us best not cheapest. I read all the talk about brands just wondering about shock lengths.

Not the shocks are just fine without getting new ones. Your front end will be a little squeaky for a week or so until it all gets re broken in.

I didn't just do the lift. I bought it already lifted. The shocks look old so I'm replacing them. Stock size shocks it is. Would like white or white and red colored.

If your shocks aren't bad then why replace them?

i think its a good idea to change them. if thier the orriginal ones that came with the vehicle its high time to change them. look at the rancho rs5000's. should meet your color specs and thier a great on and off road shock. thier about 40 bucks a piece i believe

I just don't see the point in fixing something that isn't broke. Especially if your only goal is to have new looking shocks. Seems like a waste of $80 and a waste of time.
