well over the weekend i got new rotors and pads, but thats besides the point. i got my new rancho shocks that are 2" longer and they are great! with the b***er knobby tires i still feel a lot of stuff in the road, but nothing compared to what it was. anyone afraid of leveling because of the harsh ride or have installed one and want to make the ride better, have no more worries, shocks are your answer!

actually my shocks were so bad and over extended 100% of the time, that my truck actually sits higher now with the longer shocks!

 

when you did your brakes did you need a special tool to put the calibers back on? cuase advanced told me i may but whats sure

 

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm gonna put on a leveling kit. I was on the fence about shocks. You just changed that. Thanks

 

Use a c clamp or large pair of channel locks to push the piston back in the caliper, make sure the seal is seated properly then. No special tool needed.

 

What shocks did you go with I now the brand what model.

 

whats the smallest lift block they make does anybody know? i wanna level the back out but i think an inch would be too much..i dont want the back higher again. i need like a half in or quarter block ha

 

Ireland: no special tools for the caliper diasembly. not sure on the size sockets, but i just used 2 sockets. thats all and obviously a c clamp to compress the piston back in.

Tankz: i went with rancho 5000's

Hemi power: smallest ive seen is 1". i put 1" on mine and i think its great. if you want 1/2" or 3/4".......break out the grinder haha

 

Where did you get the 1" block? Did you get new u-bolts when you put the block in?

 

got the block from a local pepboys. and i got the u bolts from fabtech

 

so when you put the 1" block in it didnt make it taller in the back again? you have any side pics/pics of the block?
