Re: 5" rear springs
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the shocks in use now vs. the possible replacements.
Use 1.5" lowering blocks w/3 or 4" springs & you can get away w/stock length shocks w/some relocators. Anything more than 4" might require shorter drop shocks & relocators. Check w/CPP, ECE, or Porterbuilt to see if their products will work toward your goals.
