5100s on a level are a must! Best ride for the money! Going 5160 or new 6112 with my lift.

Yeah those babies are really nice. Where I am in Virginia is rough and it felt like I was floating, but when I turned it just felt like I was driving a sedan.

The part number in the first picture ends in a 43 I'll have to try and get the box out of the trash with numbers

Will 1500's be ok if I get a 3'' BL or do you recommend another brand?

Do the Bilsteins. They have a range of sizes. My tears are for a 2-4" lift and fronts are 1-3" lift

No they will be fine. Better shocks can help with bigger more aggressive tires. Like mud grapplers can pair better with 5160s.

I was checking out the Rancho shocks as well but wasn't sure which to buy

I've read both on this forum and a few others that the Rancho shocks are quite harsh, gives a real rough ride. Not to mention, they supposedly don't last nearly as long as other makes.
FWIW, I've got KYB Monomax shocks (stock with 2" extenders rear, 2-5" lifted front) and I've got nothing but good things to say about them. IIRC, @ScottyBoy has them too.

Pass on those shocks. My friend has them on his hoe and he swapped them for 5100.

The 5100 are great. Rides well over soft rolling bumps and dampens the harsher hits really well.
