I bought some of those Gabrials at Autozone online. They were $16.99 online.
Shipping and tax added about $10, but...gas here in LA is upwards of $2.50/gallon, so...it's better not to drive to pick them up. lol

If you need longer shocks go with the 9112 or 5112 if you dont need the adjustability (i dont). They are about 7 inches longer then the 9012 (5012).

also, how much extra travel do you think you gained? (was that a bds lift too?).

I'm not sure, dont have a place to test it... my pond is full with all rain we have got the last couple weeks. I'll have to till we get a dry spell for the water to dry up again. I can't find any walls or ramps, steps around here that I can use. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Just driving around and hitting bumps I can tell theres a longer shock up front. It fells like the front axle is moving alot easier and cycling faster.

And yes its a BDS all spring lift. I got 7" of lift in the front and 6" in the rear (with a zerorate) over how it was sitting with saggy stock springs.

Lets say you had a 2.5" lift and put the furd mounts on, would you need to by longer shocks?

yeah I would think so, maybe not as long as these gabrials but I would say at least a 4" front shock or maybe a 2.5" rear shock up front /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Of course if you ever went to 4" lift your towers might have to be repositioned (up/down) /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
