If I install this on a 2009 2500HD 4WD, will it affect my front drive shaft and will it also require getting new shocks?

Im no expert installer but I installed it on my 2012 4X4 GMC and there was nothing else I needed to have done. Ive 4 wheeled it several times since install and there were not issues.

Ok this is a complete bolt off and bolt on system... The original steering stablizer shock and brackets will be removed and the new system will bolt on either side of your axel without having to drill anything... Hope that answered your question

Front shocks have to come off, disconnect sway bar, compress springs, lower axle, install on shock tower and reinstall everything.. If all goes well, about 2-3 hours

You do not need shocks, the trailer have a suspension...it´s leaf spring and it´s O.K., why do you want to fix shocks?

Sorry about that I meant to say it preloads the coil over once slipped over the shock shaft, and placed on the snap ring, I've installed these on two different vehicles and they are amazing, just understand the settings and how high you want Togo before install because going to high in the front can mean having to replace other stuff at the same time

Yes, it doesn't matter whether it's 4wd or not. Recommend changing timing chains and oil pump while you are at it. Was surprisingly easy to change out everything

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.

Drive your truck without the extenders then drive it with longer shocks you'll see the difference this coming from a guy with a 2012 ram 2500 that I use on a daily basis on lease roads in the oilpatch

not sure bro, what lift do yo u have on the truck. if you are talking about 4" that is body lift and some spring spacers then yes. Otherwise then you need to size what ever you have on right now and order accordingly. The length of this shock is equivalent to the stock one, so if you are using the stock then this should not be a problem.

I have replaced the rear shocks first since those were very bad. Just 3 bolts in the trunk to the top bracket and one big bolt on the bottom. You will need a spring compressor which auto z loaned me. Compress the spring on both sides to take the tension off and unbolt the top center bolt. Keep the parts in order as you remove them and install them on the new shock. Reverse to install, Easy install. Have not done the front yet but are similar. The install the front, use Chalk to mark the pattern on the lower parts to get the new part installed close to original then get the alingment done

It is a loose fit on my Slash 4x4 Ultimate LCG. Crashes cause it to shift. My drive shaft gears have ground into it. I removed it b4 more damage occurred. I probably should have removed the motor and turned it to get the motor wires out of the way. It wa more trouble than it was worth for my truck.

Nope. My old one was fine. I believe the shaft seal is deeper inside the transfer case. After installing, be sure to put the column shifter in N before starting engine and pushing the 4WD selector buttons.

No, these just bolt in place and your existing shock will extend just fine. I have put these on 3 different carts and they work great. However, your biggest hurdle may be getting the old bolts out of the existing springs. Spray them with WD40 a day in advance.

Not sure I have a 04 Chevy 2500 and these are the best mod I have ever done. If they are anything like the front ones I put on I would say its a must have

Question does not make sense, it is a front axle disconnect not for full time 4wd.

Honestly, I would take it to a shop. It sounds like your transmission is fried. I bought this part because it was damaged and would not go into 4wd. All the internals were chewed up. If yours won't go into 3rd or 4th gear, sounds like the trans. I had a similar issue a few years ago and the shop changed all the fluid in the transmission, this stopped the shifting problems but wouldn't effect the 4wd. That part isn't easy to replace unless you know how to remove the front right cv axel without breaking it. I had a little help.

It's hard to answer that question not knowing if your 4 wheel drive or what pinion you are running. This is however a much better system. I'll recommend you getting the neu castle 3800 kv system. It's a lot stronger and all in all a better system than a lot of 1/10 system out there. Search castle creations 3800
