    The only way to know for sure is start measuring. Not all 3' springs or shocks for 2' lift are created equal. So measure the length of the spring and subtract 16" and that is how much longer than stock it is. Can't remember the stock length for the shocks but if you get that far I can come up with some numbers.

    That would be 6" longer than stock. You sure those are 3" springs? Shocks need to be four inches longer than stock
