     With the bigger axles and higher lift you will need heaver shocks for sure, Air charged or reservoir type shocks have always worked well for me in the past.  Fox racing makes excellent reservoir type shocks and rancho has a good air type shock.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
