Well y'all were right. Guessing on the shocks didn't work, at least for the front. Torsion bar and coil spring trucks do NOT have the same shocks. But, 12* North was right. The stock shocks were almost the perfect length for the 2†lift coils. I'll get pictures of the front after the install. I haven't done the rear yet because I've been waiting on the axle. I finally got it today, and I think I scored BIG. I got an 8.8, 4.10 gears with a LS, 10†brakes, u bolts with backing plates, factory lift blocks and a factory sway bar!! All for only $250. Not bad I don't think. The only thing is the pinion seal seems to be leaking pretty bad, the truck it came from only had 119,000 miles on it. Is the pinion seal easy to replace myself or is it best to have a shop do it? Here's the axle.
