    Im thinking of replacing OEM shocks with aftermarket’s. Any suggestions that will give my truck a 2-2.5 inch lift and decrease the rake? I want to fit larger tires on it as well.

    I’d recommend checking out Bilstein 5100s or Fox 2.0 shocks. I’ve had good luck with the Bilsteins on my truck—they give a solid 2-2.5 inch lift and handle rougher roads well, plus they helped with the rake. If you're planning to run bigger tires, you might also want to consider a leveling kit to get the stance just right. Just make sure the shocks and kit are compatible with your truck’s setup for the best results.

    Kings are King. If you want performance and a comfortable ride look no further.
