I currently have the TF 2/1" spacer leveling kit, and my stock shocks are needing replacement.

If it helps the OP I spoke with a few Jeep / 4X4 shops and all three verified the following Bilstien 5100's would be fine for my set up:

Front (1.5" to 3") 24-146708
Rear (2") 24-146715

One shop suggested the addition of rear bump stops only as a 'option' if I wanted too add them in the event of a bottom out situation under 'very extream' case.

Also, I was looking at the RK web site, their 1.5" coil lift does not come with shocks, they do have a handy chart that makes recomendations on shocks, and they have the same part numbers above listed for their kit.

I will be adding new coils at some point....buidling as I go when I can.

I can't make up my mind or the right deal hasn't come up yet for stock shocks. One guy wants 150, which is ok but then I'm thinking that's 150 towards my Rancho shocks. I guess I could sell them after but then I have reinstall.

Thanks for your input guys, it helps.
