    I'm still lookin at all the ways to get a small lift on the truck and stumbled onto these. My only question is am i gonna need to upgrade other stuff when i put these on? If not...i'm thinking this'll beat out the ol' 3" body lift.

    I may eventually. Depends if i gotta buy other stuff with these springs, i'm hoping you can buy these, and only these. Instead of having to replace the shocks and stuff with it

    shocks are only 50 bucks a piece and if youve never replaced em they probably need it anyways. and worst case scenario you can run without em till you get new ones

    The only thing I'm not sure about is the shocks dude. Not sure if the factory shocks will stretch 2 more inches and function like they should. Other then the shocks, I don't see where you'd need anything else besides a camber kit to possibly correct the positive camber that you'll have.

    Very true! I can't tell you guys, shocks make a world of difference!!! Trust me on this. I know people seem to overlook their shocks, but replacing the shocks on a vehicle makes a WORLD of difference! :peace:

    I would get some good performance shocks but you don't need bigger shocks

    Exactly! I can't stress how much of a difference a new set of shocks make. :waytogo:

    What kinda shocks you suggest. as in what brand? Off rough countrys site they offer a set of 4 "hydro" shocks. but its another $140, for that much money i could just get the spindle lift
