Post RC Series II kit - 2.5" lift
When installing the RC Series II kit is it ok to reuse your stock shocks? Or are they going to max out in range of motion?

You will need shock extensions or longer shocks. I would get new shocks

yep, extensions or longer shocks. Is it the 2.5'' or the 3.5 series II? I know the 3.5 series II comes with longer shocks in the kit.

You'll want to upgrade your shocks. I have the RC 2.5" coils spacer kit and needed new shocks, went with the RC 2.2 series shocks and happy with them.
