need help

[jesst]

I have an all spring lift from skyjacker and need to know what type of struts/shocks i need. I have looked online but am getting different answers. can i use shocks all around since i have an all spring lift or do i need to get struts in the front and shocks in the back?

Since you have the Skyjacker lift sadly you have to use Skyjacker front shocks ( struts) only ones that will fit without modifications. rest of the brands all interchange
Rear you can use Ironman, OME, Bilstein etc for a lifted KJ

Most places advertise what we have in the front as struts but they are indeed shocks, since we have a coil over shock setup

i dont know how much of a lift i have since i bought it with it already installed. my front is 22-22.5" and rear is 22 3/4-23". how much of a lift is that. i also have 265/75/16 tires on and it only rubs when i turn the steering wheel to the max

also whenever look at skyjacker it gives me the shocks 8088 and no struts??

Yes running to large of a tire for the amount of lift you have.
To run 265-75s you need closer to or 4 inches of lift. You have 3 inches of lift.
Skyjacker may advertise the fronts as shocks, I've never looked at the Skyjacker kit since it has much weaker springs than other lifts out there.
