well have a little problem. i put the rk lift in bought some sky jackers H7071 shocks for the rear. i believe they may have been too long. well long story short they blew out in 2 miles. the were about half compressed when the truck was sitting. jegs will take them on a return. but im trying to find which rear shock i can use with out blowen them. also i do plan on getten rid of the spacers and swappen them out for the jba 2.5 inch rear springs. any one have any tips for what i can get from jegs thatll work? |

Save your money on the rear springs for now. From what ive heard the JBA rear springs arent really a 2.5" lift for the rear. However they level out the rear with the front being raised 2.5", so maybe like an 1-1.5". Maybe someone with them can verify. Most of us KK guys have been running Bilsein springs. They are a little more pricey then most but if its one thing I have found out myself and heard it from others, buy it right the first time or youll be buying again. The part number for the Bilsteins would be a F4-BE5-6458-H5. |

My original ones were a little short, so Marlin replaced them with the new ones. On the rear I have Skyjacker H7088 Hydro, you could go with the N8088 as well. |
