Lift question

Just to be sure I was told yes but like to hear what this site has to say....8" BDS lift and Bilstein 5100 Series Offroad 0-2" Adjustable Shocks to get 10"?

im pretty sure thats right. you'll have to add a 2 inch add a leaf in the back to level it up after you put the shocks on. i have 11.5 inches on mine right now. but i just have a leveling kit added to the front lift spacer. (not recomended but works till i can afford better). im going to be getting the fabtech shocks and crank them 2 inches to get rid of the spacer setup im running up front. that way i dont put as much stress on my ball joints. do a search on the shocks and it should bring you up some threads that people have already talked about.

Yeah Ive been tryin to find a thread about it and seeing if someone had done it...A far as the shocks they are used as a leveling shock it say and have seen people do the spring spacers and strut spacers, this should be a little better being I can take my spacers off completely...They lift the front 0-2" in the front and the rear does 0-1" ...Hopefully It looks pretty level within an 1" or so rear that I woulnt need to aal...Well see...Thanks for the input man!

I got to thinking, u might want want to ask someone else though . U said u had the eight inch lift... I know it will work with the 6 inch lift but I'm not so sure about the eight. I think their made for a six inch lift with a 2 inch crank. Maybe someone else can give u a better idea on that one.

you can just put a 2-2.5in leveling kit on top of it. Autospring is a great company and their pretty cheap.

i think he has a 6inch kit. his album says 6+3 and 38's. in one of his pictures you can see a spacer. if i remember correctly he added a 1.5inch spacer to clear the 38's better. he talked to me a lot while he was lifting his truck the final stage.
