How much up travel do you have in the rear. I just moved the shock mounts up and am looking for new shocks (5125 or 5150 bilsteins). My only concern is the 10'' shock will only give me about an inch and a half up travel with plenty down travel. If I go with an 8'' shock I'll gain some up travel but lose down travel. Any insight? O'yeah I have the 5.5'' Re springs/lift

I have the same lift and I have 14" travel 7100's mounted inside the cab. I moved the lower brackets up and ran into the same problem as you (no up travel). I now have 7" up travel (although my bumpstops limit the travel at about 6", and I have 7" down travel (I have never fully stretched it, but I am guessing the springs will limit this as well).
Good luck!

Limited uptravel might be fine on the trail but it sucks ass on the access roads on the way to the trail when you want to go fast.
What do you think I should do? Bumpstop a lot for the 10'' shocks and gain more downtravel. Or use a 8'' shock and gain more up travel and compromise on the down travel?
Sh#t something to think about.

Obviously I think you need more uptravel.
True I guess its pretty obvious.... hahaha
So your springs/bumpstop are maxed at about 6-7'' both up and down? This confirms pretty much the same measurements I had when I mearsued.
