efs extreme shocks will be a very stiff shock on leaf springs as they are very firm on coil springs. it really depends on what you want it for and how you want to set it up. standard rears u front with rancho 5000s and 2 inch lifted ome IFS srear springs in the back with 5000s flexes great and handles ok. the same setup with the packs screwed around with and procomp 9000s handles and flexes better. theyre the only 2 shocks ive seen used on a lux so i cant comment on any other option.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

I agree with everything Chunderlicious said plus the Procomp es3000's are similar to the rancho 5000's but if you are looking for a bit more control then the es9000's might be better for you especially if you are loaded up. The Procomp 9000's are valved softer then most other shocks designed for coils. You can check out the leafs prices here. If you contact me I might knock a bit off the price.

They would suit best if you have a heavy load so yes I think they would be perfect for your application.

What are you looking at?
