BE5-6134-T5 - rear and
BE5-6135-T5 - front.

This is what RCD uses for their 6" lift.

I have the BE5-6135-T5's on the front of my truck with a Procomp 6" lift and it was world's better than the Rancho 5000 or the procomp Es9000 shocks I tried.

I have BE5-6253-H5 (Bilstein 5125 series, 8.5" travel, 255/70 valving) on the front with my 6" Pro Comp and they are way too soft. I can push the front of the truck down on my bumper and let go and it will go up and down for a good bit. A lot of swaying up and down. You can really feel this driving on the road. I'm either going to have to add dual front shocks or switch front shocks. I'll look into the shocks you stated wilsonck. Do you happen to the amount of travel they or the valving on these shocks? I'm running BE5-6249-H5 (Bilstein 5125 series, 10" travel, 255/70 valving) and they are ok. I had to raise my rear, lower shock mounts because the 10" travel shocks were too short.
