    After Market Shocks on a 2" Lifted 303RLS

    Doing my due diligence before I buy a 303RLS.

    I know the newer 303RLS's have the 2" square tube lift on them between the frame and spring hangers. I'm wondering if it will be possible to add any after market shock kit with this 2" tube in the equation. It adds 2" of distance between axle and frame and it interferes with the mounting of the top shock bracket.

    or:

    Any thoughts ???

    Regards,
    Ray

    The Joy Riders mount to the bottom of the frame or in your case the bottom of the 2" spacer so should work just fine. If questions call Sonny at RV Improvements. Great to talk to and will fix you up.

    Smoother ride for the 5er which translates to:
    - a better ride for the people in the truck
    - less stress on the frame
    - less bouncing around inside the 5er

    And it's a fairly inexpensive upgrade, IMO
