I'd also recommend Bilsteins. Either the 4600s or the 5100s. As mentioned the commonly listed 5100s are for 4-6" lifts, but I'm fairly certain that I've seen other people say that they contacted Bilstein and obtained 5100 part numbers for other (closer to stock) applications on these trucks.

The 4600 and 5100 are supposed to be valved the same, so it's more a matter of what height suits you best.

5100's are "valved more aggressively" according to Bilstein USA.
My guess is a more progressive compression valving and digressive rebound with more very high speed rebound

That was my plan for a revalve and rebuild but he said to give off the shelf 5100's a shot first.

There is s 5100 for 0-2" of lift as well
