I've got an 05 Screw that is a 4x4, I installed a 2.5" Autospring level and getting ready to install the Skyjacker 1.5" add a leaf so the rear end doesn't sag when pulling my boat.

Do I need longer shocks to compensate for any of the lift? I keep reading about lifted trucks with the shocks "topping out", just curious if I am going to have any problems that I need to address while doing the install.

Thanks

 

Most shocks are designed with a "sweet spot" where the ride is better. When you lower or raise a vehicle, the shock is extended out of the spot. Your always better to go with a longer shock when lifting. But if you don't notice any real difference in the ride, you might be ok with what you have.

 

Thanks for the info. If it is working outside the "sweet spot" does it still function correctly or wear out early ?

 

When without shock compensation, ie buying longer shocks, your shocks will limit the amount of suspension travel. It's not going to hurt anything per se, but your suspension performance might suffer in off-road conditions.
