Measure from you axle to the bumpstops and from the shocks mount to chassis. These two measurements will help decide what shock size to get. As long as the shocks don't fully compress or bottom out you should be fine. I'm gonna be fine tuning my bumpstops soon and switching to the rc performance 2.2 4.5" lift shocks in the rear

There is a rut in the road near my house and I can go 30mph over it and its horrible. When I did my lift I bought BDS white body's for $200, (because a local off road shop told me I shouldn't use Rubicon shocks) should have saved that money. When I took the shocks out of the boxes they didn't extend so I had to extend them by hand.

Bds has some great stuff but like someone said earlier, most white body shocks are the same. And the last two zone nitro shocks I had fully expanded when the wire was take off. Buy front shocks first. If you're not lifting more any time soon get a 3" shock and BPE. Do the front then do te rear after you saved up again. OME has some good shocks. You can even you JK shocks too if you not lifting more. No sense in wasting more and more money.

Well I eventually want to get 33s and 4.56 when my 31s wear down. Can't do much offroading around here. So I just want a nice ride on the road, especially with all the pot holes in Virginia Beach. I was looking at getting these, or should I just get 2 for the front and the relocaters for the back

If you wanna break it down do the front first and save up and ten do the rear one time with longer shocks to compensate for the relocators, u less youre getting the 0 lift ones where you cut out the stock shackle box

If you have the money go for it. Def do the relocators too hit remember, if the relocators you choose add any lift, the rear shocks get maxed out fast.

I have relocator brackets and extended shackles and before my zone shock went to ****, my rear end glided over bumps and small potholes. Now I need new rear shocks to replace the zones and ill get my gliding back

Who has bedlined their floor? If you have what did you used and how is it holding up. Thinking about doing this and a shop that said they would do it wants over $500. Thank you in advance.
