Ok, So I just purchased a leveling kit that happens to have the shock extension brackets with it. It is a 1.5 kit.
My question is, why do some kits of this size come with shock extensions, and some do not? I would think that either you need them or you dont. ??

I put in a Daystar 1.5” spacer, the kit came with shock extensions but I have not added them, I am not sure if they are needed, there is a ton of droop before the shock is fully extended.

I did Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit and it does not have shock extensions or longer sway bar end links. At 1.5” you don’t likely “need” either. Mine drives fine. Each manufacturer packages what they think they can sell.

Thanks.. I have that one on the way, just debating on if i really need to go through the trouble of drilling holes in the shock brackets to put the extensions on.

I didn’t care for the quality of the Daystar brackets or the hardware that it came with so I bought a set of Rubicon Express shock extensions, much nicer quality and all the hardware is cadmium plated as well, but I haven’t installed it yet.
