shock costs?

Been looking at upgrading shocks for my 3500 megacab. It's soon to have 2" Top Gunz spacers up front with 2" lift blocks in back. I've been thinking about bilsteins ($292) but I'm sure a set like King or Fox work even better. How much does a set like this run? I know the steering stabalizer is pricey compared to others that work just as good.

Stick w/ what your thinking, you will not be sorry w/ the bilsteins! Top Gunz is an awesome place to buy from as well.

Two inch blocks in back will leave the rear end high. I have three inch spacers in front and two inch blooks, and mine is a little low in the front.

2" top gunz in front with 2" blocks in back ought to keep the stock stance which is what I want. Just a tad higher overall. I don't want level, because if I do that, when I hook up my 5th wheel it will sit very nose high.

It will probably still sit nose high with a big 5th wheel hooked up (the top overload/helper springs will be 2" further from contacting with the blocks in there). The rear suspension on these trucks is a lot softer than most trucks. Air bags will stop that and give you some adjustability too.
