Default Leveling Question

Happy New Years All

Need some help, I had bought Ranch 9000 for the truck now I want to add a 2" level kit do you know if these shocks will work with the 2 in. added or do I need to get different shocks? I've been looking to find info on these but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Any help appreciated.

I don't know a whole lot about them but from a quick google search you may have a problem with the length. I've been told that when you get a leveling kit you need to get longer shocks, but then again I don't know a whole lot about it. Wish I could help more.

just take a quick measurement of the installed legth of the shocks that are in it now, then add the size of the lift/level to that, and see if the new shocks still have plenty of extention past that point

I put a 2" leveling kit in my 06 with the stock shocks, no problem. Though when I put new shocks in I will be getting the Bilstein's that are for trucks with leveling kits.

ccr, have you any idea what bilstien shocks you will get? i have been going over the different setups and can't put a finger on the correct one, my only other alternative is inquire at my tire shop or a specialty truck supplier, have you any info?
