Before you buy shocks, try it out first. Some people are fine, some people need longer shocks. It all depends on your coil, the type of spacer, age of components, etc. Who knows, you could save yourself some $$$.

You should actually be level with only the spacer. A lot of the trucks we send out of the shop with 2-2.5 in spacers sit perfectly level, due to the age of the suspension.

I agree too, but I think the Dodge T-Rex is AMAZING. I wish they went into production...

Who knows, maybe I can get one some day haha...

It's a 4x4, bottoming on the ball joints just isn't an issue. Ripping your shock apart might be though.

Ever used one as a limiting strap? I have seen them come apart. (not mine, fortunately.) Or, if they don't self destruct, I have also seem the strip all the threads off of the shaft that used to have the mounting hardware on it.
