    It says it's an OEM spec shock, which I would think maybe wouldn't work with 2" of lift. I went with bilstiens in the back, 5150/ I think

    If lifting 2" you're going to need extended shocks, which brand is up to you, personally I like Bilsteins but don't put anything on it thats OEM specified, they'll be too short..

    I dunno Payton, checked the skyjacker page & to me it seems like they're all over the map with apps & none seem to address the question, confusing for sure, I see something about a lift & alot of OEM references for answers instead of concrete specs, to be sure I'd pull your rear shocks & get a measurement on them fully extended & add 2", maybe 2.5" . I think this will be a good guide line to go by, just remember that the pass. side shock is longer than the driver side shock..
