If you want OME shocks go with the 132Ls
If Ironman then their rear shocks are actually longer than the OME 132Ls
Not knowing how much lift you are going to go with hard to give you anymore advice
but either one of them will do up to 3.5 -4 inches although at 4 inches you'll have upper control arm/ spring contact even with JBA UCAs
