I recently purchase 2" OME leaf springs from Quadratec and 1 3/4" spacers for the front coils. The tech said the leaf springs would give about 3" of lift and then settle down to 2" after a little while. My question is, will I need new shocks? I've heard 2" doesn't need new shocks, but if it starts out at 3" and then settles, are new shocks a necessity?? I don't do any crazy 4x4 roads, but i will be camping this summer and will be on some roads that will require 4 wheel drive. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
