    any quality shock for a truck with a 2in lift, likely a coilover, think my Bilstein's and HD springs got me close to 2inches before the bumper pulled it back down 6112, and the HD Bilstein springs.

    Thanks, ordered the Bilstien 5100 that are adjustable so no need for the spacer. got them out and now waiting for shocks and mounts to arrive.
    tackling my FWD shaft joints while I wait.
