I went from no shock extenders to adding them and immediately the truck was smoother and suspension more responsive. Now that I added bilstein van shocks I can go much lower and it rides perfect I've since welded my extensions on
I am dealing with trying to find extenders now as one of my nitro drops was rubbing the frame a bit and dented it causing it to leak. They dont quite line up with the frame indents the way they should.
I found a store with djm relocators but which shocks do you use after installing the relocator kit?
Do you go back to a stock length or still need drop shocks?
