what shocks do you recommend?
I replaced my stockers the the Z-71 shock but they were the same length as the blue ones I took out. Since my torsion bars are cranked I looks like I have a very little amount of upwards travel available.
Would putting in 3 inch longer shocks mess anything up?
Does anything need to be modified like brakelines, bumpstop, etc....??
Thanks

I cranked my torsion bars and raised the front about 1". I had it aligned to the tune of $65 and the print out said I was .02 degrees out of alignment. The tech asked why I brought my truck in for alignment. At least it started out as a free mod.
I'm not saying yours won't need it, but mine sure didn't; although if you are putting on new tires, it's always a good thing.

After cranking, I drove mine about 200 miles. I got a total of 2.5" out of cranking. I will definitely need an alignment. The steering wheel is even off now. After the new bumber and alignement, we will see just how bad it is.
