1"rb body + 1.5" downey= new shocks?

Well my one inch body lift is on the way thanks to Roger Brown who was a super easy guy to do business with. My question is once i get my body lift on and my downey 1.5" hd's will i have to get longer shocks? I ask because i know with the downey 3" inch kit you need longer shocks and mine will be close to 3". Any info Helps, Thanks!

Since body lift does not change the geometry of your suspension in any way, you don't have to take it into account when considering shock length. You only need to consider the 1.5" coils you're putting on.

If you wheel it, you can and should add longer shocks to get some more travel.

As 00 said, you only have 1.5" of suspension lift, the bodylift has zero impact on suspension height, only ride height.
