Dobinson $125 - $135 each
EFS Extreme $265 each but only go to 5 inch.

The Raw catalog doesn't show a shock over 700mm long so unless they do a 'special', they wouldn't have anything long enough for the rear.

Rancho 9000Xs may be OK for a single cab alloy tray with no extra weight over the rear and no bullbar & winch on the front - or if running twin shocks per corner on the heavier vehicles. The old 9000s were great but not the 9000Xs.

Dobinsons rear shocks are 730mm long which will allow the coil to fall out under certain conditions on the 4" lift - great for the 5" and useable for the 6" - but maybe a bit short depending on spring free length. Great shock though.

Procomps 29.5" is great for the 6" lift rear. EFS Elite do one that is 700 long which is OK for a 4" lift.

I don't have a complete listing for the EFS Extreme or the Toughdog adjustables but have used both before on 4-5" lifts

It does depend on the brand of 6 inch lift coils used. Otherwise what bowtie landie said.
Procomp have an adjustable shock but the Patrol is a bit harsh on them.
I'd stick with the es9000.
