    We've all heard the story...."im on a budget"...well I am.. and I was curious if with a 2.5'' suspension lift one needs to replace teh shocks? Will stock work for a while? Or will I need to do that right off the bat? I've purchased a set of 2.5 superride springs, as my stock springs are flat, and I was wondering if I needed to replace the shocks at the same time, or if I could wait. I know I'll be replacing U-bolts, but was hoping I could wait a bit on the shocks.

    No. they're going to be too short. Keep in mind, if your springs are sagged, that 2.5" will likely lift it 3 1/2 or 4" from where it sits now.
