Is a body lift hard to do? I already have a 2" lift from my T/S lift, how much more could I go before I had to buy new shocks? And how expensive are the shocks?

I am not sure about your Durango, but there not to hard on our Dak's so. Your shocks are mounted to your frame. (I believe). When doing a body lift you don't need longer shocks. This is because the frame and suspension is staying the same and the body is the only thing being lifted.

no longer shocks are needed. and shouldn't be hard, probably take 5 or 6 hours with two people. its easy but time consuming
