Need replacement shock options with 2.5" Rough Country leveling kit on 2014 GMC All Terrain

[danmc96]

I just got a 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain with a 2.5" Rough Country leveling kit.  Truck has 108K miles so it's time for new shocks.  What are you guys running with the 2.5" leveling kit?  I'm currently running 285 BFG All Terrains that are fairly new.

I'm on a 3" level and went with Bilstein 5100s with the 0.85" setting, 1.5" body lift and 35x12.5x18 BFG All Terrains..
New control arms, of course, and I couldn't be happier.
I mean, other than doing a true 6" lift ...

Thanks Mike.  I am leaning towards Bilsteins but can’t decide which ones. Looking for a smooth ride.

Check out the Eibach pro truck sport +2.5" adjustable fronts, if you run a steel bumper and winch you'll want their springs as well since they are a tad more stiff than the Bilstein springs. I have a full set of the Eibachs on the way, should be here Monday but my UCAs are back ordered by 6-8 weeks so gonna be awhile before I bother swapping em in. 

Last time I checked 5100s were out of stock pretty much everywhere with restock date totally up in the air.
