anyone ever just do a 2" lift?


im looking to finish my 2"s soon right now im only getting 1" due to being limited by my shocks.... i have the xploder coils out front and belltech 6400's (moved to the 2nd hole)

my plans:

since i dont like the Exploder Coils, im going to change them out for 2" leveling coils, and fully extend my belltechs .... i just need shocks...

what suggestion do u have for shocks?


edit the more i deal with this, the more i think about just slapping a 3" on it, ... i already have a 3" BL new in box.. never got to install it
 






Before I went to Fox Coilovers, I had Rancho RS 5000 and never had a problem. I had a 3" body lift and used Rancho application guide for length and mounting hardware since I changed the way the shocks mount to the axle.
Can't locate the guide though.
For example, I think I used a Chevy shocks that had a longer travel.
I just made sure that the ends would fit into my mounting hardware. I had to have bolt holes at both ends not studs and then a certain bolt size.
May have to call Rancho or somebody like 4wheel parts or ORW.
