Quick lift Q

If i were to throw on some coil spacers and and some lift shackles would i also need new shocks? Just need some extra clearance for some 30-31's. Both the shackles and the spacers would be 1.5-2". Oh and i dont do any serious flexing or anything, just the occasional snowbank and stuff. Thanks.

Ive run a bb for a year or so with the factory shocks no problems other than it limits the amount of drop. Which is fine for a daily driver.

The only thing about running stock shocks is that if you do decide to wheel your travel will be limited. Additionally the more you wheel the quicker your shocks will go due to the fact that they will be bottoming out excessivly.

Yup...
you'll be fine. 3 years on that set-up.
You will wipe out the rear springs with a shackle though.


heres good springs, the BB and 31's...


Spring swap, before & after shots......

BTW.....
Stock size Rancho 5000 shocks that I put on it about a year before the BB. Shocks are still fine.
Great set up for a DD that dont wheel much.
