I looked at that kit....gaaa its soo much though

I would like that bumpstop also but you will still have a fairly harsh ride when it hits? Anyway, some kits say do not get longer shocks and other kits say you need longer shocks. I just dont know anymore. That one has a thread extension but most kits say on 06-08 use stock length

they guarantee the ride would be the same as factory i kinda wonder what happens when it hits the bump stops also maybe theres enough cushion on it to not really notice i do like that it offers the extensions because i wont have to worry about finding different size shocks when mine wear out just buy the stock length and slap them in there

Matt,

When I put the 2" spacers on my 08 I had to buy longer shocks. The stock shocks were about 1" too short. Couldn't even get the nut started on the top when the shock was fully extended. I don't know how a lot of these guys are running stock length shocks.

Hey Daniel Earls i sent you a PM about your truck, did you have sway bar problems when you put the spindles on? Are the spindles the only thing you have done to your truck? Thanks man,, Also, guys what is the best and cheapest place to buy the rear tow/helper air bags.

we definitely need a write-up using the chassistech/aim spindles for sure. Matt99, are you planning on a DIY for all of us?? You seem like the perfect one for it. I hope so. We all would probably be looking forward to that. Let us know and when are you getting the spindles??

yea Ill do a mini DIY.

And bgblu, I might call and try and find shock extensions. It would be cheaper than trying out two shocks and ive already ordered stock length.
