After much research here, I'm planning on getting some 1.5" BJ spacers and replacing the worn out overcranked stock torsion bars with some 26mm Downey bars on my project '88 4x4. I've already got the rear handled with some new Downey 2" springs and know which Bilstein shocks to get for the rear, but I'm wondering which Bilstein part # to get for the front with a 1.5" bj spacer in there and is there anything else I should get for the front suspension at that time? I saw the shimming trick in the FAQ thread, but was thinking that a slightly longer shock might be better?

 

stock sized shocks are fine..... you ca ndo the minute man mod described on 4x4wire for the extra travel
