Shocks...Also, rear lift

[ozziemo27]

Hey folks, early next month I'm installing a superlift 4inch kit on my 99 and I was wondering whether or not I should just get the superlift lift shocks (my shocks are shot as it is) or get something else? I got a 500 dollar 4wheelparts.com gift card i won to blow so if it can come from their website, that would be prime. Also, my rear leaf springs are shot as well and I was wondering what the best way to go about rear lift. I was thinking of going to the JY and pulling some explorer springs to add like 1-2inches and retaining my 2 inch rear lift shackles... and If need be, an add-a-leaf if thats not enough.... Any Ideas? I can have my truck down for a max of three weeks so going about getting parts and whatnot doesnt have to be an instant process. I want to collect what I can now though. thanks.

Superlift's shocks will be fine. I would just replace the springs with stock, but you can also use the f/s Chevy leafs and a shackle flip.

Whats wrong with doing explorer leafs?

Bilstein shocks for sure! Hoping to have a set on my truck soon

I'm leaning towards a chevy leaf swap...Should give me enough lift if i play around with different combinations of things.
