new shocks with a 3 inch suspension lift
My buddy is building his lift kit. He's got some questions that I wasn't even sure about.
First, he's debating between a 3 inch spacer and 4 inch spacer. he will either get a 1 inch block for back or a 2 inch if he gets the 4 inch spacer. he was wondering if he will need new shocks with the 4 inch. i said probly not but i didn't know. i know you don't have to do any major mods for a 3 inch spacer and 1 inch block but what about the other?

yeah i typed the block sizes wrong. add 1 inch to both of those....
think about this though... 3 inch suspension lift for 100 bucks? you payed 500... I payed 900 for mine ... Spacer is 80 bucks via ebay and we can get blocks for 7 bucks each and u bolts for 7 bucks each at our parts store... man its dumb to blow 500 especially if he doesn't have to... and hes not looking for the benefits of a lift, only the height to fit some big ole tires we got a steal on... were not getting a body due to the horrible ride quality... body lift is a last resort if the tires won't fit after the suspension lift.
and spacers don't look that cheesy

ya i agree its a good kit for a good price... but 100 bucks for a 3 inch lift is hard to beat, especially since spacers don't affect ride quality and blocks are not that bad. his ride quality will be good.
but back to point. i know you need to shocks with like a 4 inch lift no? no shocks needed for 3 right?
