I have a 2003 1500 QC 2WD, I installed the 2 1/2 leveling kit by daystar. Now my shocks are too short and every where i call they tell me they can't do the shocks I need, so my question is What shock do all of you use for this same set up?

 

any shock that says its for a 2-3 inch lift will work . installing them is easy you can do it in your garage in about 45 min.

 

give a call to 4 wheel parts or any truck off road shop like that they'll set you up real nice

 

Before you buy new shocks you should attach the stock shocks at the bottom (Im guessing you cannot screw the top of the shock to secure it) and let the truck sit. The weight of the truck should forcethe shocks up making the top bolt reachable and capatable for your setup.

Thats what happened to me with my new leveling kit. Mine was dayster but 1 1/2 inches.

 

The Pro Comp 3000 series shocks that are specifically for our pickups, from what I've read many times over, are about 2 inches longer than our factory shocks. They supposedly work great with the coil spacers and don't ride too bad, from what I've heard. What's even better is they're around $40 per shock! I put 2.5" coil spacers on a couple of weeks ago and will be buying these shocks soon.

Hope that helps!
