Thuren's site claims 14 or 15" of travel, can't remember, so different shocks for sure. Either pair the springs with their shocks or use your own preferred shocks. They can probably give you the correct part numbers for other shocks.
I used power wagon fronts that brought it up a little over 2" and Thuren .5" LOWERING springs (that's right, lowering!) in the rear. And I used Hellwig bags. Hellwig also says 14-15" of travel, check my math. I use the truck at the ranch every day. Trailers, hills, creeks, ditches, badger holes, and have never over-extended. Springs and bag combo are excellent if you don't like cradles or timbrens.

Loaded pic has 35 psi in the bags, maybe 40.

I know you mentioned rebound, but I'm using the stock springs with 1" spacers. I only went with a 2" front level and wanted a little rake still, so I added the rear 1" spacers. Traxda 605041 is the part. I'm also running Fox 2.0 shocks for a 1.5" lift.

I have firestone bags as well and based on the full travel of the suspension, there was no need to use their 1" bag spacers. Mine is a pavement truck that tows a boat and car hauler. I wanted to keep the stock spring rate and then some.
