Rough Country 2-3 levelling lift kit without new shocks?

[npituley]

Does anyone know if I can use my existing shocks for this lift kit? I just replaced mine with some expensive munroe reflex shocks??my truck is a Classic 2007 Gmc Z71 so it is old body style.

Your shocks will work fine but may bottom out off road. ReadyLift makes extension brackets to fix that issue though. I have them on both my trucks and they work great.

They are a GM specific item. Part #67-3809 $59.95. Can't post a link from my phone for some reason sorry. Type the part number in the search box and they will come up.

to answer the OP question if assuming the 07 classic is still the gmt 800's which means you have torsion bars. You can still use your shocks but most level kits sell shock extenders that go with with stock length shocks, or you can replace with longer shocks. If you want a cheaper route id go with the extenders

like SCZ said, just find a leveling kit with shock extenders.. almost all of the leveling kits i have seen came with extenders.

If you want just the shock extensions...

I also have extensions with my level kit. Haven't had any problems so far (3+ years installed).

The extensions I listed are for the rears ONLY and not needed unless adding 3" blocks. The front shocks don't need to be extended.
