If you plan on off roading, 'any' suspension lift requires new shocks.
Even the 1.5" spacers!

If you do not put extended shocks on, the shocks will become the axle
stops. This is bad news and 'will' break things. I have seen frames
snapped in half and shocks snapped off. Another friend punched his
shocks through the back seat on a city speed bump.

Once you start talking more than 2" of spring lift, you are getting into
new springs and new suspension hardware.

If you stay with the 2 plus 1 lift, you costs still stay low.

Also just FYI, if you drive in snow, those 11.5's will not have good
traction. They are wide and will spin up really easily.

I like the polyurethane body pucks. I think you should use longer springs,
not spring spacers.
