Longer shocks for 2wd coil suspension with 2.5 inch spacer

[redranger007]

I have a 2011 extend cab 2wd (coil suspension) with stabilitrak . I am planning on 31 inch tires and would like a small lift. Unfortunately there are few options for the stabilitrac 2wd models. I'm looking at doing the Torch kit with a 2.5-3 inch front coil spacer and 2 inch rear shackle. My questions is whether I need longer shocks and, if so, which would be best. All the shocks I've found that say they are for 2wd coil suspension are stock height only.

I found a set of Fox shocks that might work, says 2-3” of lift and non-torsion bar, but the price is almost $300 each… Part # 980-24-648

Not sure what to suggest.

Rear shocks aren’t a big deal, just get something listed for 2-3” of lift for a Ranger. Fronts might be a little more trouble to track down something other than expensive shocks.

spindle kit if you dont want to deal with shocks might be a thing.

Unfortunately, the spindle kits won't work for 2010-2011 with traction control. Something about the wheel speed sensor not fitting on the aftermarket spindles.

Can you make them fit?
