Default largest lift?

Does anyone know the largest lift block you can add to the rear with stock shocks before you need to buy longer shocks. Can you put a 2in. block in the rear and still use stock shocks?

No.

If you put a 2" block in the rear you will need new shocks. If you could somehow manage to get them hooked up, you would have no extension in them at all and would probably tear them up on just a pothole or driveway curb.

There are a bunch of really inexspensive shocks out there. Get some for a 2-3" lift and install your block and shock at the same time.

the most you can go is 1.5 inches with the stock shocks, but it's still a good ideal to replace them
