I'm considering getting some new 2" lift springs for the rear of my cruiser. Just a couple of questions/opinions. I have 2" extended shackles and i replaced the shocks about three months ago with "0-2inch lift" Ridepro's (which i am happy with). If i were to get new springs will my shocks still be ok considering the total lift would be approx 3 inches? Will my brake lines and drive shaft be ok? As i am happy with the height of the front, will leaving standard springs (with extended shackles) on the front be ok? Also any opinions on "constant load" ironman springs, considering i do most of my driving in the cruiser when its loaded with camping gear.
Cheers.

Hey your shocks may miss out by a little, but hey, rancho 9000x are cheap as chips now $198 ea!!
Your brake lines may suffer, but as a temporary fix, just undo the bit where the rubber an steel meet and pull it from the housing so its hanging a bit more, i actually ran mine like this for 6 months!!! Till you can get extended lines.
I believe your tailshaft will be fine
And the ironman springs, the beefy ones are great under load but, if you want flex for off road, forget them they are stiff as me at the playboy mansion!!!
My personal recommendation is A 2" body lift, Rockcrawler Springs (2" lift), Rancho 9000x adjustable shocks, and 2" shackles is all you will need running 35's, if you go any bigger your tyres look small. Im running 35's on my cruiser now, but just bought 37" Super Swampers for it, check it out its a good thing and a fantastic new project, the tray will be finished by end of month.

shocks
They will last a while but remember that every time it flexes out the shock is the only thing stopping it going further, which inevitably is going to fuck them.
Shocks are not supposed to hit their limits they are supposed to work inside the inner and outer limits.
Hope that helps ya out a bit anyway cobber.
