How are you guys doing on 2'' rear blocks? Did you need bigger shocks?

I was gonna get 2.5'' rear block and 3.5'' front lift. Will there be a need for bigger shocks?

Not sure.

I have the 1.5" blocks and kept the stock shocks.

I do have extra (never used) Rough Country shocks (that are way too long for just a 1.5" block) that I could sell you if you need to get longer shocks.

I put 2" blocks in the rear of my Dakota, and if I go off a speed bump too fast, I can hear the shocks hit their limit. It's a horrible sound, and I'm expecting them to be completely dead soon.

I was thinking about getting 1'' longer shocks and 1.5'' blocks if I stay with the leveling kit. If I get the 3.5'' lift kit then I will get 2.5'' blocks and 2'' bigger shocks
