I'm about to throw a 2" torsion key/shackle lift on my truck. I have the tools, pinion shims, the actual kit, and everything else ready to go. However, I've seen that adding longer front shocks is recommended. I've also heard that the SLA suspension has a weird lower mount that makes finding longer shocks for the truck quite hard.
So, two things:
1. What are some good options? My truck has KYB monomax shocks right now from the PO.
2. Are their adapters or something similar to get around the mounting problem?
I'd like a set of bilsteins, but their corporate website only lists the b6 4600's (stock ride height) as options for my trucks. I have no idea if the longer shocks they offer, including the 5126 which comes in a wide range of length options, will even bolt to the truck. What can be done about this issue? Advice is welcomed and appreciated.
