WAIT TILL THE LIFT.

When you do the lift then get new shocks....ou will want to measure or have a 4x4 shop measure for you, eye to eye for the front and rear.

If you really want to get technical you need to let the new lift springs settle (Couple weeks) then measure the truck at rest, jack it up, disconnect the shocks and sway bars and cylce the front and rear suspension as much as you can get (to limits up and down) and measure at full compression and at full droop. Then you will be able to select the exact shock you need. Warning doing it this way makes your shocks travel the full length and if you dont have your bump stops and limiting straps in place correctly you can break your new shocks.... :)
 






Anyone have the in-dash control? I was thinking about switching to the 9000x with the in-dash control after my BL and tires.
 






From what I hear the indash control isn't worth the money or trouble. If you mount the shocks correctly, the knobs are really easy to get to.
 






How hard is it to add the in-dash after the fact? can it be done? I can handle the price of new shocks but the extra $150 is a bit much now. Also, I think you get a deal if you go with it all at once.


I don't know I just like lazy-man's toys and the more switches, dials, and gauges the happier I am! :D
