Check out Carli or DT. Those are the only two companies I would trust for 2nd gen suspension. Thuren makes some good stuff as well.

Rare, and desireable, but not valuable.

I just looked into, there are SPORTS and then there are SPORTS w/ OFF ROAD, I have that one since I have the tow hooks in the front and the sport front bumper with the cutouts for the tow hooks, Its a fully loaded truck with leather...etc Im trying to find one for sale on EBAY to show, but none are like mine, there are all just SPORTS. My question is, since the OFF-ROAD is lifted 2" stock all-around but the front still is still downwards, would I need a 2" or 3" spacer? Also, since Im looking to get shocks (replacement) Should I look for stock height or the ones lifted ?

BTW, whats a good shock for the buck, not buing bilstein or anything expensive, since my are leaking, rough country, skyjacker....etc? Or which would you stay away from

They're all made from the same Chinese made Gabriel valving components. Just buy what's cheap.

Sometimes this forum just suprises the hell out of me.

Are you talking about the rake front to rear? Grab a tape measure (the little square thing with the metal tape that has numbers on it). Measure the difference from the center of the hub to the top of the fender, do that front and back. The difference between the front and the rear will determine how much you need to lift the front to get it level.

Get Bilistiens or get blown. Bilistien FTW
