Hello everyone. As the title states, I'm looking into purchasing the TGC 2" rear coil spring spacer to accompany my Bilsteins set at 2.8 because I still want to keep some rake. Does anyone know if a 2" rear spacer will require longer rear shocks? Thanks in advance for the help.

you're maxing out your stock shocks with that setup. so be prepared for an uncomfortable ride and off center rear. Rule of thumb is 1.5" max spacers in the rear with stock shocks. Trust me, the .5" does make a huge difference

What he said ^^. At 2" of lift the stock shocks are way too far out of their operating range. You'll be overextending them very often which will destroy them in no time and give you a terrible ride. Investing in some good quality shocks meant for the 2" of lift will definitely be worth it.
