No shocks on a IFS vehicle is dangerous. Now when you start talking about a SAS swap with leaf springs there is not much room for movement in the suspension vertically , but latterally there is.

 

I have 2 inch lift chevy front leaf springs with a hp ford 60 and im in Minnesota

 

I have a 6.5 drop bracket with a 2 inch lift spring not much for side movement at all lol

 

Lol when I said I see where your coming from...that's a term people use when they understand/agree with what your saying. I didn't need to know where you live! Lmao

 

O well now u know lol was at work wasn't really reading it through to good

 

Ha ha ya It's all good man!

 

thank you for all the tips

I do not have leaf springs in the front i have spindles and coil springs

but no i do not have extended upper control arms



i figured out what the knocking noise was after i took the shocks out and it was caused by the upper control arm hitting the coil spring mount when the suspension would try to move up and down. so i ground off what looked like a wedge on the upper control and gave it a little bit more play

now how do i go about getting new shocks for the front and back since i need longer ones

 

Go to your parts store and order the shocks you want for your truck and say +3 or how ever much lift you have.
