So I'm about to order my 6" RCX lift and Bilsteins. My question is what rear shocks should I get? All I hear is that the rear shocks that come with the Rough Country lift are junk. So basically what rear shocks can I get will look good/match with my Bilsteins 5100's in the front. I've looked into Procomp a little bit. So if anyone could leave me some suggestions and maybe even a part number that'd be great! Thanks

I just added Fox 2.0's not too long ago, definitely an improvement over the RC's!
Part #'s: FOX98224758 for up to a 3" rear lift
FOX98224759 for 5" rear lift

I have the Fox rear shocks too. I like them. You also can't go wrong with Icon.

Have me considering these as well... Have to see how the super-ride shocks feel first.

I have a 6" RCX Lift and will agree that the supplied shocks are garbage. I have the 5100's up front and I did a little research on Bilsteins website. Their site isn't fun because the part numbers are all on a pdf instead of a table on the page. Regardless, I found the extended and collapsed length of the RCX shock and matched it up with a bilstein 5100. I called bilstein to verify the part number I had found. Googled the part number and ordered the set on amazon for $75. My truck rides great, no complaints.

Bilstein (33-185576) 5100 Series Shock Absorber

This, or just call superlift and ask the for the bilstien part number. They have a 4" and 6" kit that both come with bils. That was my plan at least, but goldenone saved me that phone call.
