well, with your setup, you cant (well shouldnt) go with stock shocks
for the doetsch, the all around shock are these, a set for about $150, when you place your order, put in your specs and theyll get ya the right length

RS 5118- http://powerandplay.com/truck_access...Rancho_RS5118/
RS 5151- http://powerandplay.com/truck_access...Rancho_RS5151/

My rough country gas shocks SUCK! I was looking at getting Rs before I lifted. They had good reviews and prices was not to bad. Now plan a head a bit hear if you are planing on lifting your truck you better weight to do your shocks.

The Rancho 5000 series are known for being on the stiff side. They are ok, nothing special though. Probably as good as any Monroe. You can't go wrong with Bilstein though. I personally use Rancho RS9000XL. Great shock!
