I just ordered this! Just wondering if I'll be needing to do new swaybar links and any other suspention extention? I plan on doing 5100 bilstiens for shocks.

No, you wont need to do anything else. Good choice on shocks.

Did you choose what tires your going with yet?

Not yet. I see the bilstiens say i need extended bumpstops. Do i really???? I'm getting the 0-2 of lift shock. If so I'll have to hunt those down.

"Bilstien" says you need extended bumpstops? For the shocks, or the lift springs? Slightly longer springs will not require longer bumpstops, but I suppose longer shocks may need them to prevent the possibility of bottoming them out... but that to me would suggest the shock is too long

The shocks. See that's kinda what I was thinking. It says it's a zero to two inch lift shock so I'm guesssing that is for the guys who put it on stock vehicles. I find it hard to belive I could bottom it out. I was just curious to see if anyone else ever had this problem. I know the suerlift coils came with them. I'm not gonna worry unless I see big travel issues whan I put them in.

I would compare the compression stroke of the new shocks with the stock ones. If they are a little longer, it may be wise to look into a longer bumpstop. But, my gut instinct tells me you will be fine.

Where ya getting the new shocks from?
