Any spacer kit will only last as long as your springs and won't ride any better than stock, in some cases worse. JBA has a couple different options as far as replacing the springs and shocks. I went with OME springs and shocks after my spacer lift and it rides much better. A little firm but smooth. Bumps aren't a problem anymore. My shocks would bottom out all the time, it's a wonder they haven't come apart but I replaced it not long after I put it on. For me, it was a total waste of money.

You'd actually be better off with shorter shocks because the spacer moves the shock downward.

The RK lift was cool for a while. Trust me its like riding with the suspension of a horse and buggy. If you don't mind having an extremely stiff suspension ( and I mean stiff) then go for it. After a while it will sag though and your gonna wana upgrade. And yes ur gonna need longer shocks. OME make a set that will work and so does Bilstien

No. You do not want to buy it. You want to burn your money to keep your hands warm. Better investment IMHO

Edit: If you must have a spacer lift get a Daystar kit

Edit Edit: And quit yelling
