I am planning on replacing the stock shock obsorbers with Bilstein shocks when I saw this spacer for my 2008 Ram 3500 4x4 as an additional purchase on Amazon. Will I need to order differant, longer front shocks if I add the 2" leveling lift kit?

I did not replace the shocks on my 2006 Ram 2500 when i done mine. I was told that i could use my factory shocks. I have not had any trouble.

Yes it will fit the 4x2 same exact suspension set up just without the front different may want to go with spacers and shackles for a cheap 2 inches extra I did I'm up about 4 3/4 from stock with no extra modifications

New shocks? Not nessesery unless your old shocks are busted...or you just want new ones..one were fine...new front and rear sway bars will be the next purchase..highly recomenend coil spring compresser...not a bad install went with 265/70/17 nittos looks great..had to get 5/16" spacers and trim A boltup front..

I would advise you to contact Rancho and they will help you with your application. Stock height and 3-4" lifted trucks will take different shocks. Hope that helps

It depends on the kind of lift already installed. The stock suspension can't handle more than 2.5 inches of lift, so maybe this could replace the other lift, but not add to it.

Shocks alone will not give you additional height. You will need the additional hardware that comes in the 6" kit.

I have worked for two big four wheel drive shops in san antonio and I will tell you anytime you add any lift or lowering kit you sbould check and replace any worn or loose parts. Also yes you need to put a two inch longer shock on your truck because your ride will suffer and or you will blow out or rip the top off your shock if you hit a bump too hard!

Depending on if you already have a suspension lift kit you may not need to buy longer shocks. You can roughly test this by jacking up your cab/chassis and measure the distance you can lift it before it picks the wheels up. You should consult your owner's manual or dealership as to the recommended amount of travel.

The stock shocks will be just fine as well as the sway bar. An adjustable track bar is recommended but not needed I'm using the stock one and the only thing I notice is the front axle sits about half an inch towards the driver side more then stock but it won't wear any parts or drive weird. I say go for it my truck looks awesome!

I didn't measure the remaining travel when I hung the rear shocks on my 2010 4x4. There is some remaining travel, but I am absolutely sure there was not 4 inches of travel left at full extension (My truck is not lifted at all). I do not believe the shocks are long enough to avoit shock separation if you have a 4 inch suspension lift installed.

I added a set of shocks after the spacers and they expanded even further than I thought they would. Apparently, bilsteins are good even with a 5 inch lift I plan to get from rough country.

Correct on front for no lift. rear depends on if you added any lift to your stock vehicle. 999274 if stock. 999046 5-6" lift. 999297 4" lift. I used no lift shocks on my Ram with Firestone airbags. If you goto jc Whitney, you. An look up based on your vehicle, then buy on amazon.

None. This is a steering stabilizer. You want shocks. Usually rear and front are different. But your going to need other things for a lift as well....

The answer to both questions is yes. These shocks are adjustable, four positions: stock height, 0.75", 1.75" and 2.75" lift settings depending on where you set the spring seat.

I used a set of 4! I had the 1 3/4" in front and the 3/4" in the rear. This made it level. Now what i found out was that if you are using a stock suspension and this set up...and you weigh down your Jeep with gear....your back is gonna ride really low!!! So i would go with the 1 3/4" spacers all the way around and keep the rear a bit higher. This will compensate for your gear and stuff. Hope this helps!

You don't have to they make extensions for the OE shock if you want to be on the safe side , however I did switch to a 3" lift when I installed mine.
