lift questions with shock fitment
so I bought a 3" RC lift kit and in my search for tires came across a set of terra grapplers which im not crazy about due to the quickness of wear but they were on axis rims which I love tires are 325/65-18s so obviously I needed more lift bought the 2"shackle and spacer kit but its all still being delivered. to get to my question will I be able to use the shocks included with my 3" or will I need to buy other ones

check with RC to see if the shock are ok for 5 inchs. I believe that they are, it should be the same one that come with the 4.5 lift. if you did not get relocation bracket for your brake lines you will need them too. also swaybar brackets, track bar and brackets don't get the regular one from RC get there HD one, the tie rod goes out very fast on the regular one about every 8k I did find a heavier tie rod for it and that one seems to be a lot better. if you go with the regular one just shoot me a message and I will give you the part number for the HD tie rod. Also if you don't have one yet get a good steering stabilizer. You don't need them but I would look in to lower control arms too. I think that is it. if I think of anything else I will let you know.

I was running a 3" lift w/ pro comp shocks and did a 2" block/spacer lift. Shocks were pretty much brand new so i kept them and they are working out great. I think you'll be alright without buying new shocks.
