could you take pictures of your suspension? and also measurements?
from the top of the axle tube (no brakets the actual tube) to the bottom of the frame rail (no brackets the actual rail)
front will be 6 3/4" stock
rear will be 6" stock
anything more is the lift.
pictures would be helpful

Unfortunantly I have the same lift. I put about 500 pounds in the back (tools) and it smoothed the ride out. I was hoping after a year it would be ok to remove the weight but not yet, I tried it this weekend but it's still stiff. A lot of threads awhile back complained about rustys stuff sagging quick, I quess he overcompensated I'm still at 3 " in the back and front a year after installing a 2" lift, AAL at that. And if it had sagged I'd be here complaining about it. LoL no pleasing people I guess.

I'll agree on the no nitro shock if we are talking about the standard white body stuff all the lift COs have. If you are talking yellow or grey bodied shocks, OME or Bilstine, that may be a completely different story. Valving is much better. ANY OME shock is going ride better than ANY white body shock, worth the money better. They might cast 50% more but they are >100% better.

Ranchos are better than those generic white body shocks. Cheapest I could find them was $50 a piece online, plus ten shipping.
