Default Help me with shocks

Hey everyone.

Im kinda new to this stuff so I am going to need some help. I have the Terra Flex 2.5 coil lift. I bought it with the shock extensions.

Now I would like to get some new shocks. I was looking at Northridge4x4 and they sell most of the shocks in +3 inch lift. I only see the Bilstein 5100 that accommodate the +2.5 inch lift. Sooooooo.... Is going with the +3 inch lift shocks bad? would it over extend or somthing? Would they work?

BTW if there is a better set of shocks I should look at let me know. Thanks for responses

I would go with Bilsteins or OME for a quality shock.

The bilsteins are ok, but actually the teraflex shocks work better with Tera springs . I was running the bilsteins on the front of mine, the teras ride better. I think the dampening is matched better for the springs, plus the terra's are cheaper.

Also, will new quality shocks improve the ride quality over the stock ones with extensions? I am guessing so.

I would go with the teraflex or the OME LT shocks.
