What are the weight capacities of the front and rear? I am looking for 1080 in the rear for sure. Thanks!
Rear Leaf Springs: Rated at 1,080 lbs capacity per side, matching your exact requirement to ensure solid load support and resistance to sagging in the rear.
Front Leaf Springs: Typically designed with a lower spring capacity (around 840 lbs) since the front end carries primarily the engine weight rather than cargo or towing payload.

I purchased the 0-1 inch lift Nitro shocks in the recent past, will I need to change shocks to use this lift?
Yes, you will need to change your shocks to use this 1.5" lift kit.
Here is why:
Stroke and Extended Length: Shocks designed for a 0–1 inch lift have a shorter overall travel and stroke length. When you add a Superlift Superide 1.5" Lift Kit, your suspension sits higher and provides increased downward travel (droop).
Risk of Over-Extension: If you keep your current 0–1" shocks, they will become the limiting factor for your suspension droop. As the axle drops during normal driving over bumps or off-road articulation, the shocks will top out prematurely, which can harshly jar the vehicle, stress the shock mounts, and potentially damage the internal valving of the shocks.
To ensure proper suspension travel, ride quality, and component longevity, you will want to upgrade to shocks rated for a 1.5" to 2" lift (such as matching Superlift shocks designed for this specific height range) before installing the kit.

What shocks do you recommend? There are no shocks recommended in “our experts recommend” section anymore.
Any shock with a 1.5" lift range will apply. Take notice to run extended bump stops or bump stop extensions if getting a shock length that covers to a 2.5" lift sizing. Quadratec Hydro shocks have an offering for 1" to 2.5" of lift available. Quadratec Hydro Shock Kit 16116-0401. Thanks for your inquiry.

I'd like to get the 1.5 inch lift only if I don't need to drop the linkage or transfer case. Can I just bolt this on and go? My original 1995 springs are shot and need to be replaced. I'm still running factory wheels but would like the added height.
Yes, it can be used without the driveline modifications being done. Thanks for your inquiry.

What shocks do you recommend using with this lift kit?
Superlift shocks (offered in Our Experts Recommend) would be best paired with these springs. It assures that the spring rate and valving have engineered together.
