Looking at getting the set for the old hoe. Running RC leveling kit currently, but was curious if I should get the 4-6 in shocks or get the standard 0-2in bilsteins. Anybody have any issues running the 4-6? I would imagine I would just have a stiffer ride, but any other downside anybody has experienced? Or should I just snag the 0-2in kit. Concerns? Any input if appreciated.

The 4-6 may bottom out if you only have 2" of lift. The body of the 4-6 should be longer than the 2-1/2 shocks.

That’s what I was assuming. They have a deal on amazon for the full set for a good price. I almost bought the 4-6 until I was reading the info on it. The set is actually like 30 buck more expensive for the 0-2 in kit. Thanks for the input.
