If you're going to do some off roading, get the extended ones for use with lift kits from Spencer Low Racing. The OEM versions will work, but the extended ones will give you more droop/articulation off road. If you have question about them, call SLR and talk to Josh. Good Luck.

Don't do a 2" PML.

Its too high for the UCA's to adjust for.

Keep it to 1.5".

Also, there's no really good ways to get the rear up 2".

The 2" SLR shackles are actually shorter than the Calmini 1.5" lift shackles (As bizarre as that might seem, I think they mean that they're ~ 2" LONGER than stock, rather than that they LIFT you 2")...and the AAL for a PML defeats the purpose due to the less P part....and, the fact that an AAL-only lift kills your articulation, whereas a shackle lift INCREASES articulation.

And the Bils for the 3" lift work at stock or PML height too...so you can later upgrade to a taller suspension, etc...w/o having to get shocks again.

Well, I think its a 3" lift kit.

laugh

Its a good kit from what I've heard, at least I don't know anyone complaining about it.

It comes with new UCA's...so that you CAN get alignment.
