Gas shocks for 2" left?
« on: March 14, 2012, 07:45:45 PM »
I've scoured the posts and I havent come across anything that talks about the gas shocks. I'm putting the 1" coil spacers in the front, and blocks or shackles in the back. I'm getting all new springs and shocks. But my question is, since it's getting lifted, do i have to get (find!) longer shocks, or can i just use the prescribed stock ones?

a word of advice using blocks on the rear, while they are a good way to lift it, they will also cause a lot more axle wrap.
