Default New shocks question

I'm thinking about getting new shocks.. well not as much thinking but i really need to. I think mine are either shot or are just horrible. When i hit a bump i can feel it in my teeth haha. I've heard good stuff about RE but for the money, i might just do rusty's/ Your suggestions over the two? I've got a 4.5 RC lift if that helps.

My other questions are, is it ok to get shocks that are longer or do they have to be long as the lift? And should i get anything else when i replace my shocks or have to remount anything?

Edit: These are what i'm looking at

I would say the rubicon cuz thats a good name. Dont know much about rusties thou. And I would get new mounts too. And when you take of the old rear shocks, be careful removing the top mount, if those screws break, your in for a fun afternoon

Ok cool, around 200 is what i was looking for. Over the RE and RC which is better? Out of the RC shocks, which ones in the 200ish dollar range is the best bang for my buck?

Edit: oops , i meant RE* not RC
