Default RC 2.2 shocks or Blistein 5100's ?

Looking to get new shocks for the rig. I run 6.5 lift, IRO long arm in the front. Im looking for a good quality shock but nouthing crazy with rezzis. i do a lot of trail ridding / street / mud/ .

Im going to be getting RC shackle boxes for the rear, am i going to need a longer shock, i only see the shocks for up to 6.5 lift

I know you said they only show up to 6.5" but Detours USA makes cheated that can give you up to 2.5". They're kinda like blocks that bolt into where the shock goes and then you bolt the shock to it. Gives you more axle droop and allows for easier work on your rear shocks.

Apple and Oranges comparison here. I would definitely go with the Bilsteins.
