For the shocks I searched here and found a post from dodgenitto saying he went to topguncustomz.com and ordered the tough country shocks so I did the same. 133 shipped for 0-2" lift. And as for the brackets yes I cut them down. They're brackets that bolt to the truck by the body mounts and have about a 6" bracket that hangs down and has a hole in it that a bolt screws into the actuall step bar so I unbolted the step bar, measured 3" up and drilled new holes. Then put the bars back on with the new holes an cut off the excess with a sawzall. Only thing I still have to do is either fabricate new angled support brackets or somehow make the old ones work because without them when I step on the bars they kinda bend downwards. Ill try to post pics tomorrow.

That price was for all four shocks and the steering extension was kinda a P.I.T.A. I had to remove the bottom bolt, pry it open and kinda beat it up with a hammer and screwdriver, but I eventually got it. Just don't hit the piece that comes with kit with a hammer cause it'll cause the top to mushroom over and u won't be able to get the steering bracket back on

I have a question...can you actually stand on the rear bumper with the kits relocation brackets??

I guess if you cant, you can just leave the bumper in the stock location, or fab somthing thats more heavy duty.

Does the PA kit come with instructions and I like the steps down lower because it would help the short people be able to actually get into the truck
