    So I recently had my leafs replaced at a local spring shop.
    Mine were broke I blame the wife!
    Not because she’s big but from hauling topsoil.
    3+1 hd gave it 2” from stock center of hub to flare is 24”
    Front 21”.
    My stock rear shock is at 21” center of eye to mount as it sits.
    23” is their travel if I’ve got it right.
    Been in touch with headstrong not really getting that warm fuzzy feeling!
    Do I need longer rear shocks and if so seems extended shocks don’t offer the compressed length?
    I also want to raise the front now but not anymore than 1.75” to 2”.
    I did 5100s with stock coils on my last taco at 1.75.

    I don’t want to spend a lot, not sure how long it will be around?
    I’m in the rust belt and it has rust so if it gets a frame I’ll keep it.

    I know this is a redundant question and I’ve searched and answered a lot of my own questions.
    Looking for second opinions.
    Longer bumps stops with extended shocks?
    5100s with 884s or stock coils at 1.75?
    Rough county coil overs complete 2” front lift 340$
    Just drive it as is?
