Why in the hell so high?? And what axles? Just use stock shocks, double them up and ziptie them together then bolt em up!

I would try those pro comes with bpe's and extenders on the top side if you need it. That would get you close...The 36" I think are for 6" lift, I don't know about the length but 6" list are the longest I've found. With bpe's I'm sure there are full size shocks that can be used. Might have to fab up a top mount. Yore going to have to get creative.... there are a couple guys on here running similar lift. Hopefully they'll chime in.
