Has anyone had to run longer shocks or shock extentions with these installed? Thanks

Not quite sure what mean... The 3/2 style lift is more of a leveling kit... Some call it "strut spacers" it's like a spacer that bolts to the top of the shock mount and the strut... In doing this it pushes the strut down further while also compressing the shock to raise the vehicle higher... Sometimes makes the ride stiffer, I'll attach a pic of what the 3/2 lift should look like attached the struts.413b308930c5df1c8c1ae6f325cb4a6d.jpg
Sorry for a bad pic but you can see the black metal blocks (spacers) mounted on the top of the struts, that's the lift kit.

Sorry yes i was talking about a leveling kit. Just wondering if the stock shocks will be long enough.

Yeah they'll be perfectly fine... A longer shock would probably be a bad idea because it will be compressed even more with the leveling kit on top of the strut. I just went with some off brand struts from unity suspension they're not bad and seem to hold well to abuse... Lot of people like the Bilstein 4600s or whatever they're called, weren't in my price range trying to buy some wheels lol

I also recommend upgrading to Bilsteins for improved ride quality. Expensive yet you will surely like their performance.

This is the section of the frame that the sway bar link is supposed to bolt into the frame... Can this be fixed...?
