If you haven't already then yes, look for adjustable ones. I'm not sure if you'll need uppers as well, probably wouldn't hurt

Just ordered the re extreme duty 5.5 lift and about to install and noticed I really need new tires. I want to bump up to a 35. What are good off road/street tires for a daily driver in 35's so far it seems Kevlar and grabbers are pretty cool. Price is not an issue (my momma owes me a bday present )

My brother actually runs the duratracs, but they haven't seen the mud yet. They look like a good all terrain.

I'd choose bilstein over RE mono and twin. But if you decide between the two the RE shocks, get the mono shocks. The twin shocks tend to be a bit harder ride.
