one thing that most people fail to realize is that by cranking the t-bars you are extending the shock, in some cases past their limits. This is why some have suffered rough riding conditions after raising the front with a t-bar crank. You can use shock extender brackets or buy a set of shocks with a longer throw and your ride quality will be back to or damn near stock.

Hey Imp.... By adding these shock extenders, wouldn't you risk bottoming out your shocks when you fully compress the front suspension while off roading??? Or will the ReadLift kit prevent this from happening??? If not then, maybe the rubber stops needs to be raised also... No???

I have the readylift kit...instead of using the cheesy shock extenders spend the extra money for new shocks. I got the pro comp 3000 and the ride is nicer than the stock ride ( I wish I would of got adjsutable shocks, I still may make the swap).

no, they shouldn't bottom out. If the kit (or if you crank the t-bars) raise the front end say 2" then the shock spacers will basically relocate the shock 2" closer so that the overall travel of the shock will be the same. If you don't use the spacer and use stock shocks then you chance bottoming or over extending the shock because the overall travel of the shock now has to be 2" more. I would get new shocks anywho...stockers aren't that great to begin with IMO.
