well i scored an 84, 1ltr sierra for $500. (sweet)

the standard springs are nice and bendy. and the little motor revs its nipples off (also sweet)

i wanna just put in my 2" shackles, and want to know what shocks will fit? something cheap from u-pull-it.

i know people use commie shocks, but don't know what commie, and under what circumstances.

any info would be appreciated. and im pretty positive someone here will have the answer

Standard shocks will work with extended shackles.
I wouldn't try fitting longer shocks unless you space your bumpstops down at least 25mm or your new shocks will be bumpstop at full compression.
I run VS Commonwhore wagon rear shocks in the front and hiace van rear shocks in the rear, all with 25mm bumpstop extensions.
Jas.

i have sagged 3" springs with 1" lift shackles and 25mm extended bumpstops
with vs wagon rear shockies on the front of my sierra, works well.

on the back i have 4" springs with standard shackles and rancho shockies
and it is horrible until i hook up my trailer, then it is good.

jas are the hiace shockes of a particular model?

last time i ran standard shocks with my longer shackles i snapped a rear spring the first time it flexed..
