I am getting serious conflicting reports about this from the different manufactures. I want to use the spacers but don't want to buy new shocks right now. I want to make sure I like it leveled and it works ok and then I will replace all 4 shocks.

has anyone leveled a factory offroad truck?

Mine was not an off road package, but I made them add the off road tires.

I had the DayStar 2" spacers installed with stock shocks with no problem. When I added 315s and Ranchos, the Ranchos were stock replacement numbers, not extended length.

Yea, other than that, the skid plates, tires and sometimes the decal were the only thing I could see.

If your just using the 2" shock tower spacers your shocks don't change length. You still use the stock length. Your shock mounts to the bottom of the spacer that is the stock hieght and the top of the spacer goes into you shock tower to give you the 2" lift.
