[BlueLighting1999]

So i was a t my local 4wheelparts looking around and saw a pair of Superlift Shocks that will provide a 4inch lift.... Is this true??

 

[camodown]

no, they are the shocks that come with the 4" superlift lift

no, they are the shocks that come with the 4" superlift lift

okay but lets say i got bigger longer shocks then stock alright? would that lift my truck at all or not?

no it will not lift your truck at all.

hmm... okay why not?
IM just trying to understand suspension more and also trying to,lift my truck for cheaper.

The springs and torsion bars will just squeeze longer shocks down, if they will fit in there at all.

IM just trying to understand suspension more

The rear suspension has blocks between the springs and the axle. The way you lift the rear is with a taller block or a longer shackle at the rear of the spring. Do not stack lift blocks.
There is no cheap way to lift the front beyond a 1.5" to 2" torsion twist. Mounting points are mounting points and travel is travel.

and also trying to,lift my truck for cheaper.

Body lift.
