These are the shocks I have. They're a nice mid grade.

You should get some rear leaf sliders.....They're supposed to flex amazingly well and don't add much lift.

Got a question. Might sound dumb. But i got 2 inch lift shocks and getting 3 inch add a leafs. And got 1inch shackles. I know the shocks dont exactly match the lift but is the worst that will happen if i use the 2 inch shocks until i can afford the bigger shocks?

No droop. They will work as a temp but if you wheel it you will wear them out fast for over extension.

What's up guys. Well after a couple months of looking I finally picked up this 1998 Sport with 127,000 miles. Body is clean and the engine pulls strong with no knocks, but she still needs some work. A/C needs recharging, Oil pressure gauge fluctuates from 0-60psi, but oil levels are good and I'm not noticing any leaks at the moment, tires are bald, needs a tune up and new fluids, one of the rear drums sticks when mashing on the brakes, needs some new motor mounts, suspension feels shot, but that will be overhauled anyway when I do the lift, she doesn't start on the first try, but ALWAYS on the second try...probably fuel pressure related, dings and dents, but nothing major. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

So I took the wife, dog, & buddy out to do the burro wash rd trail down to the river yesterday ... Was a great idea until this rattlesnake came around. I walked by it within 2.5 ft. Needless to say when it rattled at me I ran like a little girl. I was really close to shooting that f er! So our day ended early!

Moral of this story kids is BE CAREFUL out there! It's snake season

I have an old co worker that has an AC machine and can check your AC for a decent price. Message me your number and I can check later today if he is free and when.
