Default Ba$tard lift do i need new shocks

Bluexj told me how 2 make a ba$tard lift using a f-150 and a chevy s10.He also said i need 2 get new shocks but right now all i have money 2 do is get the parts without the shocks 4 now.I am going 2 get new shocks when i get the money anyway cause the back kinda droops.Can i run a 3inch lift 4 a while only on the street no offroading until i save 4 the shocks?

You can do the shock extensions and run your BB with your present shocks for awhile Drew. Look at Marcus's site and get many more improvement ideas. HERE

you can use your stock shocks for now, they come with 8" travel, 3" lift isnt going to effect you that bad, just dont go flexn and you'll make it till you get shocks. you could always cut and remount your shock mounts up higher then all you would need is new fronts and stick with stock in the rear
