To Wandell and anyone else:

I put a 3" body lift, add-a-leaf in the rear, and cranked the torsion bars on a 98 ford f150 4x4 ..... Should I put new shocks on this truck or does it matter??? If so, which ones.... extended or standard?

I got a good 2" on the torsion after it settled.... and that's all the way.... Is this a bad idea?????

I am putting 35's with 17x9 on the truck!

Thanks, Scott

 

New shocks are never a bad idea, but they are not necessary. You do not need longer shocks if you do replace them.

 

Summit Racing is sending me pro comp shocks es3000 that show a fitament for 2-4 inches lift.... That is what the tech dept. said would fit.

Should I be buying stock height shocks??

Also, can the front end be aligned with the torsion cranked all the way 2"??

Thanks Wandell

 

yes you need to get the front end ailianed after cranking the torsoin bars
