thats a big lift. i would say thats normal. it all depends on your suspension setup. i have 12" shocks in the front and 14s out back. with your lift your probably going to need 14s front and rear.

rear shocks are usually longer than the front, the rear has a lot mre travel than the front, especially on an ifs rig.....


stock configuration works just fine, especially since you are ifs.... the ifs will limit flex more than the rear shocks

sorry I jus did a SAS. Got 12 in the front and 14 for the rear. so jus run it stock.  but when I put the shock on there is no 5" or 6" space.
