Default Shocks - What size to get

I currently have a 2" lift (spacers in front and repack in the rear). I purchase RE 3.5" springs for the front (already installed RE adj trackbar for 3.5-4.5" lift), and am going to block the rear till I get a 3.5" repack leaf springs.

So, only thing really left is longer shocks.

Was looking at (oddly enough) RC N2.0 shocks cause i've heard great things about their ride quality, and also didn't want to dump a ton of more cash right now as I played on doing Bilstiens towards the end of the year.

RC N2.0 offers two sizes. a 3" Lift Shock, and a 4-6" Lift Shock.

Would the 4-6" lift shock be an issue on this setup, or should I go with the 3" lift shock?

If you plan to go with Bilsteins later... Why don't you go to the parts store and pick up some cheap gas shocks for the time being.

You can log on to the Monroe website and fine the correct travel shock to suit your needs.

There really is no correct answer to your question. You'll need to measure travel.

3"+ shocks will most likely work if you want to spend the money twice.

8" travel is what most people run with their 3-3.5" lifts
