Will I screw up my suspension w/ 2" lift?

I'm planning on installing new springs and shocks which will give me about a 2" lift but someone told me that any kind of lift will screw up your suspension and will not perform the same way as stock.

I already have the parts. Should I be concerned?

Need help fast because I need to return the parts if I'm not going to put them on.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, don't even trip. 2" is so minimal that you will probably not even notice much difference, unless the springs and shocks are stiffer. Go for it. Good luck.

think about it

if it would screw up your suspension, why would so many people be lifting their trucks ? and as fourunnabilly said, 2" isnt much anyways,, OR you could always sent it to me
ill be happy to put it on mine...

Ya, it won't perform the same way as stock. It will be a heck of a lot better than stock.

It won't feel like "Grandma's floaty old grocery getter" anymore. Put some (OME shocks and coils) or (Bilstein shocks and Downey coils) on it and it will handle a lot better than with the stock suspension.
