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.
one reason is cost....many who buy the leveling kits are price minded and looking for lift on a budget.... plus the right way would be to really replace the shocks anyway if you want extenders buy them seperate? why waste them with every spacer kit sold when many wont get used...
too bad your so far from me offroad josh I have an almost brand new set of black cragers off my ram I'm looking to sell....

b/c most of the spacers dont even require new shocks (i have a 2 inch on the front of my truck and have factory length shocks under it)
Josh, you can easily fit a 305 and maybe a 315. 305 measure out to only be 32.8 inches in diameter. I am putting a HBS 2" leveling kit on my 95 1500 Ram this weekend and when I talked to HBS, they said I could run 35's with no rubbing at all. Also you talked about shocks earlier too. You can run with stocks but if you have stock shocks on a second gen and have the money, go ahead and replace them. I have 4 Pro Comp ES3000 shocks sitting at my house. Got them from 4wheel parts for about $137. Good deal. Good luck with the kit but you can easily fit 305's on your truck
