If your lifting it they are.

If your keeping stock height then no go with the 4600hd. Its the same shock, just the 5100's are longer. There is no quality difference.
Not lifting I just bought a part number
24-186643 would those work for stock height maybe lower it later on 2/3"?

They are usually listed as "for 0-2" lift" So it should work. But if you plan to lower it at all I definitely would not use those.

that's good to know do I have to get new rear springs would u recommend them and what brand my escalade has 154k on it

I am still running the factory 180k mile original springs. If you tow, or your rear end sags you can get moog z71 springs to stiffen up the rear. Usually this lifts the rear about 1/2"

Personally I'd suggest getting the shocks installed first and then deciding if you think you need new springs. The shocks will make the rear feel much more planted and controlled than before.
