Question about shocks. (1 Viewer)

Stock suspension 69. Thinking about upgrading my old Ranchos to Bilsteins. However, if I were to at some point in the future add a 2.5 lift, would I be able to keep running the same shocks?

im not a shock guru or anything, but my advice would be to do everything in one go. lift, shocks, suspension. I've just found it easier to deal with and if you get a kit, you knw its all compatible.

I just went from a SR to OME light duty Ultimate kit from @cruiseroutfit and couldn't be happier.

I went with Napa blues on my ‘69.
They’re dirt cheap.

My understanding is you would need to have different shocks for the 2.5 lift

That would be my assumption as well.

I was afraid this would be the case. I was where they are listed from 0 - 2 inches of lift. Just hoping I could get away with it.

Thanks everybody.

Give Bilstein a call and see what they recommend, then report back. It would be some good tech if they would actually work for 0 - 2.5 inches of lift.
