Depends on your application...
Generic shocks for that lift are usually around 15-18 collapsed and around 30 extended, give or take a few.

You should measure for what you need.

Suck.

All white body shocks suck pretty much equally.

Id say look at bilstein 5100s... they are around 315 for a full set.. Good shocks.
