Can someone send me a link to some good shocks that would work good with 2" coil spacers and cranked torsion bars.

I want the front shocks as well as the rear.

any shocks you want. what ever company you like. just call them up, or a good shop, off road shops are good, and tell them you need 2 inch longer shocks and they can order them for you. some companys even have them in stock. like orw has the fox shocks i want in stock.

Well, I want to order them myself so I can find the best deal... but I haven't really had any luck finding any.

I only paid $120 for my ES-9000 shocks including shipping. Just make an offer on the auction.

I wouldn't mind buying those but those are for stock ride height. If I'm gonna get shocks for 0" of lift I'd rather just keep my OEM ones. I've heard good stuff about procomp though.

No, he bought the 4 inch lift ones I believe....

I saw somewhere Rancho has shocks specially for 2 inch lifts/levels

The link was for 0" lift shocks, and yes rancho does make shocks for 2" of lift but they're pretty expensive.

The MN's are: RS5372 and RS5246 for front and rear.

I used the stock height shocks due to the retailers advise. I have 2'' spacers in the rear and torsion twist about 3'' higher in the front. I was gonna buy the 4'' lift shocks and they told me to stick with the stock size.

stock size should work fine... I have the shocks that came with my fabtech 6" lift and also have added the coil spacer and new keys... so in theory it would be the same as stock shock length with a spacer and tt

Well I have done some research for the shocks I am having put on this week. I had to take it to a garage because I couldn't get the bolts off. And the garage had to cut them off anyways. Stock shocks in Pennsylvania winters for the past 14 years. :)

Pro Comp shocks on my 97 Expy with TT and 3" spacers in the rear. I bought them from 4wheelparts.com with free shipping they were 39.99 each.
Part number: EXP917517 with measurements of 17.08 in. extended; 10.58 in. collapsed.
Part Number: EXP924504 with measurements of 24.84 in. extended; 14.82 in. collapsed.

Without a the leveling/lift kit (Stock) the Pro Comps have a different part number
Part Number: EXP915511 with measurements of 15.69 in. extended; 10.02 in. collapsed.
Part Number: EXP922504 with measurements of 22.58 in. extended; 13.71 in. collapsed.

It's my understanding (and there are a lot of members on here) running the stock shock height and can vouch when I say they work just fine. However they do make some longer, I believe for more wheel travel?

Here is a link for Rancho's RS5000 series shocks for the 1"-2.5" leveling/lift too.

Hope this helps.
