Generally people run 10 or 12 inch shocks on the front and 12 or 14 inch on the rear. You will have difficulty getting people to give you their specs as most have either spent a lot of money or time getting their set up to work. If you intend to continue runing the 6 inch lift and coil overs I would be looking at some custom sway bars too. With the shocks mounted inboard of the chassis they offer poor roll resistance added to 6 inch lift would make for a very rolly ride.
Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.

easy way is to measure. you will have X amount of room, you will want Y amount of uptravel, you want Z amount of droop, but dont forget to add about an inch of shock after bump and subtract a few inches of X for the mount heights.

you can fit whatever size you want, just might stick out the bonnet a bit.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown
