I'm planning on going with a 2 inch coil lift in the front, and shackles in the back, and ill be running 31s with that. My question is, will (and I doubt it) the stock shocks be long enough after the coils and shackles? And assuming they don’t, how long/which shocks would be good to run?

 

I have T-bar crank and shackles, about 2 inches and my stock shocks are fine.

 

I know he doesn't have torsion bars, but 2 inches is 2 inches with t-bars or coils.

 

Yeah you should be fine I dont have the same truck but I have about 4inches of lift and my shocks are fine, a little stiffer ride is all.

 

Hmm, yeah. Aren't the xlt shocks different than the edge shocks though? I guess tommorrow I'll have to take them off and see if they stretch to 2 inches longer than they are now.

 

that will work

 

you may need new upper control arms with the coils...or so that is what i heave heard...
