Rear Suspension - Need 1in More Lift

Look into the AllPro 3.5 rear springs. Have them and love the ride and look. Ride well with and without cargo and when towing. You will need longer shocks and brake lines. Check my signature for what I did.

Ok great idea. I will give Allpro a call and see what they have to say. I wouldn't want to swap out my rear shocks since I REALLY like the Radflo 2.5 w/ remote reservoirs and compression adjustors. I need to do some suspension numbers to figure that out. With the current setup, I do have a bunch more down travel with the Sonoran Steel pan-hard bar and trac bars. I worked with Steve at Sonoran to get all the measurements and dynamics right before buying the suspension kit. This might still work without the need for longer shocks. I already have the extended Metaltech steal braided brake lines required for my current set up with the longer travel. Thanks!

You may also want to give metaltech a call, last time I talked with them they reccommended running their rear long travel coils without going full long travel.. Simply to get the height and rate I wanted. You'd have to figure out if the spring rates would work for your application.

I need to give them another call. Whomever I talked with at Metaltech recently told me that they didn't have anything to fit my needs, which is basically just a taller higher rate spring. I will ask specifically about the long travel springs and find out what rates they are running. Thank you!

You may be able to keep a shorter shock with the AllPros if you add MTs ext bump stops to keep the shocks from bottoming out

I have been talking with a bunch of the spring manufactures and retailers about what I am looking for. I have a little bit more research to do before I make a decision. The last thing that I have to do is remove one of the rear springs and measure the free standing height to be combined with the spring rate for estimation purposes. Thanks for all the suggestions!
