Default What Shocks with leveling kit?

I installed a leveling kit in my H3. It was the one off ebay, 3" lift in the front and 2" in the rear (add a leaf). The truck looks great but ride like a rock! I was wondering what shocks I should go with, they're tons to pick from and I wanted to know which one was the best for my set-up.

Thanks for help!

I just did the same thing. My lift was a tuff country 2" add a leaf with torshon keys . It looks really good but like you said it rides like a rock . I was wondering also if I needed shocks . We cant be the only ones that this happened too . Has anyone else changed there shocks ?

If you are using the leveling keys to raise the front end then the OEM shocks can remain and will work fine. Most people turn the T bars and add the Bilsteins.

Wow if you dont mind my asking how much did you pay? A leveling kit that adds 3"/2" is pretty awesome!

Oh gotcha; that keeps the raked look though (which decreases ground clearance). I'm a huge fan of the leveled & lifted look lol. Thats pretty badass, but I couldn't justify keeping the front end low

I raised the front 2 1/4 inches in the front . It will go even further to 3" easly but the ride all ready is hard . I am going to call tuff country monday and see what they have for shocks .

I raised my front t-bars 2" just by cranking them; what really impressed me is lifting the rear. I wish they had a kit that would lift the rear, and lift the front the same exact height... for $2xx haha

Default Let me know

Chris,

Let me know what tuff country tells you!, 85_305 mines no raked at all, looks a little dumb with the stock wheels on it though but that will change soon.

Your pic is just a red x brother lol.

I'm def. interested in seeing a pic though! If its not raked, I may be very interested.

Can you send a link to where you bought the lift from?
