I was gonna buy some pro comp shocks for my truck, and was wondering what ones would work best with a five inch spring lift plus a 1inch shackle lift. I would buy bilsteins but can't afford them. Im thinking i need a 12 inch travel shock. Can any one whose run these shocks or has an idea help me out. Thanks in advance.

The best thing to do is flex it out and do some measuring

The only problem im having is that the springs aren't mounted to the truck I have to buy all the parts first so should i just wait till i have them on the truck and then buy shocks?

I'm running a 3" (approximately) lift with 14" Procomp 1000's and I like it.
I max out front and rear shocks when fully flexed/compressed.
Just build your front shock towers accordingly, diagonal your rear shocks, or even better, go through the bed.

Mini i can't really go through the be but i can triangulate them how tall should i build my shock towers, short or tall? right now i think the ones i have bent up are 10 from the shock mount to the top of the frame.

You really need to max out your truck to get that answer.
I flexed my as much as it would go, measured, added an inch, and that was where I mounted them.
