Because it is 3-link and the air shocks will be the limiting factor.

I'm thinking 12" travel will be good. 19.09"-31.09" range.

I have a set of shocks on Lurch. I think they are Ranchos. I have stock shocks on my Tahoe. I think they might be worn out though. Oh wait, I forgot I did replace the front ones. I think the rear ones are toast. They are black. I like cereal. Beans are good. Bumble-Bee tuna.
Big gulps huh?....

I spent a little time flexing it out and measuring and I can either go with the 12" or 14". I'm Leaning towards the 12" to keep it shorter

I would go with the 14s if you can keep them underneath the hood and your ride height where you want it.
Basically put the front at full compression, measure how much room you have to mount the shock, and pick out a shock that fits, don't forget to add for tube and mounts

12's are plenty enough for a front especially if yur going wit airshock's it will help having a shorter shock for when they unload on climbs. buy 2.5's if you can afford it.
