Upgrade shocks for a smoother ride?

not 2x, more like 10x...

I am seriously looking at the SDI E-Clik universal kit for mine. being able to dynamically adjust compression damping would be cool.

 

Depends on how the front shocks are removed. If the LCA / cam bolts are being loosened (to drop the LCA out of the way), then the alignment is definitely altered.

 

A small change in ride height can still change the alignment because of the arc the suspension travels through. So even replacing a shock with a like shock can still affect things. Obviously not as much as actually lifting it but if your alignment is borderline from the factory (and you don’t know it, cause how would you?) you could have an issue. Seems like it would be wise to get an alignment after changing anything out. Tires are expensive.
