yes, as long as you're not going serious off-roading or anything. anything longer and you'll want new shocks.

ya they will be long enough. I had mine cranked 2" for about a year. and now that I'm lowering it instead. I dropped it down about 1" from stock hight. and after I get my 2" drop shackles for the rear in. then I might drop the front some more.

Mine was maxed out when I bought it. I backed it out 1 inch and it lowered it about 1.5 to 2 inches. Remember if you lift the front end like that you really need longer shocks. Some people don't, but if you don't you run the risk of bottoming out the shock and blowing it out.

So I loved the way mine turned out, I went a full two inches, it rode great, its stiffer, but I like it, I think it actually made the ride a little nicer, it is a little better around the corners, but I think I will need new shocks, because they do bottom out if I hit a bump hard enough...

yep, get you some longer shocks. Look seriously at Bilsteins or Ranchos. And don't forget the alignment...
