What amount did you extend your bump stops? To get a shock with the most available travel on stock components, you would want a compressed length of about 12.5 inches for the front. It would be about 14 inches for the rear. If you have extended the bump stops by 2 inches, you would want something with approximately 14.5 inches compressed length in the front and 16.00 in the rear. From there you can look at6 what shocks have those compressed lengths and 8 and 10 inch travel. I am looking for the list I have.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Ok so something like rally raid. So you have the lift to give the suspension time to absorb the energy of a jump or such like. Ok have you removed the springs and dampers as suggested above and cycled the axles from full bump to a reasonable droop will the polyurethane bushes in place? Bear in mind that you have to allow some slack in the droop to accommodate the steering effect on the front brake pipes. Also with expensive dampers it is going to be sensible to use separate droop limit straps to avoid unnecessary damage.
