Default leveling kit question

so im looking into getting a 2" leveling kit for my truck and all from Revtek. im curious if the stock shocks would be good on the lift or should i look at a newer set of shocks for the ride quality. i wanna put 305 on it as well with the kit. also what would be a good set of shocks to run on it with the kit and all that. thanks alot guys

well you can leave your stock shocks on... i have my stock shocks... no big deal.. if you want a real nice shock go with bilstiens.. expensive but nice... also steve05ram360 is selling some nice edelbrock shocks that will work for ya too...

On my last truck I left the stock shocks but did 3" coil lift instead of spacers didn't seem to hurt the ride quality much at all I'd just leave the stockers....

Stock is fine for now, I say leave um and ride for a while and see what you think. My truck has a 2" level with 305/65r17 just incase you were looking for a pic of exactly what it will look like.

305/70 would be just fine, especially on the stock rim, you shouldn't see any rubbing at all.

the stock shocks suck... buy my brand new edlebrock IAS performers yup, still have them and would like to find them a nice home. they are good for 0-2" of lift and perform awesome on washboard roads... smooths out the ride significantly.
