Shocks won't lift the back. You would need to replace your rear leaf springs to restore a stock height. A cheaper option would be lift shackles to compensate for the sagging leaf springs.

How much money are you willing to spend? I mean shocks can cost anywhere from $30 a pice to over $100 a piece.

Measure from the center of the wheel to the lower edge of the fender flare. I think that stock is 17.5" good luck

Bilstein 5100 or Rubicon monos (made by Bilstein) should do the trick...
