3" and 35's looks good. I'm just so confused on what shocks to get to match the terraflex lift.

Yeah thats exactly my dilemma, I'm sure there awesome but how do they compare to the standard fox shocks in terms of price Vs performance.

It doesn't matter what shocks or suspension you buy you will always and wonder if it could be better thanks to the number of products on the market.

I constantly wonder if the AEV Dual Sport 2.5" rides and handles better than my current setup because that is what I originally wanted but it took them almost 12 months too long to release it. Maybe it does. Maybe it is worse. I'm sick of spending money so i guess I'll never find out.

My only tip is if the shocks are specifically set by a manufacturer for their coils then go with them. off the shelf valving isn't always ideal. A point in example I am using bilstein 5100 with my SSUFCs and while the high speed (70km/hr to 130km/hr) is really great nice and compliant and also controlled at low speed (40 to 60 km/hr) there's too much body movement. its great off road but it gets wayward and close to spilling my latte on road. It is not unbearable but it isn't what i like. maybe others do. interestingly, the 4 doors with the same coil design and shocks don't have the same characteristic at low speed, so perhaps i've over-analysed and it is just a shorty thing.
