will shocks work?
im installing a RC 4.5" kit full packs pretty soon. But i want to sit a lil higher than that, and was thinking of purchasing a 2" spacers to be total of 6.5". reason why im doing this is because i have a set of 33" swampers ready to go. My question is will the shocks that come with the kit be long enough for the extra 2"? and will the fixed LCA work too? if non of this works i will consider just doing a 1" spacer kit. Need advise.. THANKS...

the RC 4.5 shocks will work with 6.5", but the ride quality will suffer big time. and it will wear the shocks out faster. not to mention that you're not gonna get the flex that the normal 6.5" shocks would offer.
the fixed LCA's will also work, but it will push your front axle back a lil bit.
honestly, 4.5" is about as high as you wanna go without a long arm upgrade. and even that is pushing it a little.
