new shocks

[99 xplorer-XLT]

when i do i body lift, i dont need to change the shocks since the frame will still be in the same place, right? with the 2" TT/AAL/shackles, what shocks are suggested, and do i need to modefy them for the lift?

stock shocks are fine... or you could upgrade to almost anything with a 1-2" longer travel shock

I've also got the tt/aal/shackles. I'd like to install some new shocks, maybe get some more lift out of it? I'd like more lift, but I don't want to do a body lift. What shocks are recomended? Thanks.

shocks wont give any lift... all shocks do is prevent your truck from bouncing all over the place.... they slow the movement of the suspension....

Ah ha... Still, it sounds like somehting I'd be interested in... any sugestions? My questions are so basic and general, I don't even no where to begin a search...

 

[jimbo74]

Are factory shocks OK with TT and shackles?

So, if I read all these other posts right, I can do a TT and shackles to comfortably fit 31's without changing my factory shocks.

Just curious, so I have time to save $$$ to do it right and get some rancho 9000's.

Or should I do the shocks first?

You will be fine with the stock ones, until they need to be replaced or you decide to replace them.
