Awesome thanks. Man I really debating on getting 305s... If i knew for 100% they would fit with out rubbing I will buy them haha. I wonder if a tire shop would let me test? I would love 305s.... Would they fit on the rear with out rubbing and no lift?

and shipping is $20.38 for 2 shocks

Yea. I think if I go 2.5 up front, and 2.5 in the rear, some new wheels with the proper offset I can run 305s. I hope haha.

I don't understand why a shock extension is not included with these leveling kits. If you add a spacer to the spring you don't gain any additional travel so a longer shock is not needed. A simple extension for the stock shock is all you need.
