Monro Reflex with lift?

[fallen angel]

New to the site. I've done the majority of reading to be completed by newbs. Within the next few months I'm pretty well set on what I want to do - goal being a mild off-roader.

Marks 2.5" suspension lift
spacers (don't mind using stock rims)
I'm thinking Sensatrac struts as I can get a great deal on them and I would prefer a softer ride as I daily through the winter + I'm a Cadillac ride loving panzy . pretty sure I have 87 springs, kind of a royal blue color mark.

I have Monroe Reflex shocks on back currently and here inlies my question... I put the shocks on a year ago when I got the truck and love them. They're not too soft, but definitely not harsh either. I am seeing mixed readings as to whether stock equivalent shocks will work with the 2" lift in back. I won't be upgrading springs as I won't be needing the extra stiffness. I haven't been able to find anywhere any documentation of lifting a gmt with these shocks. I'm thinking Mark is likely correct as his site states the kit is designed for use with oem shocks/struts?

Welcome! The Liftmiester would problably answer your rear shock question.

When I first lifted my truck with Mark's kit, I used stock length rear shocks. On the road, I had no problems. However, off road I found that shocks were bottoming out and limited my downward travel.

It is up to you with what you want to do, but I would recommend longer rear shocks if you do not want to limit your rear axle travel.

Seems to be that way. I suppose ill upgrade after the lift.

I recently lifted my tb I used the rough country front and c25r skyjacker rear springs using these springs I did bottom stock shock sitting still. Today I installed the bds shocks and I love them but the rear springs I used gives the back approximately 4in of lift so hope this is helpfull
