Oh I would say something lol

I don't think that is a good idea. Even with 35's I bottom out my shocks mounted in the factory mounts at 6" lift and sit on my bump stops at right height... lol Still rub on the flares too... Either way I wouldn't run such a short shock with long arms, kinda defeats the purpose...

But I would get new shocks. I am running Skyjacker shocks (the same white shocks that are made in mexico/china and sold as "every" lift brand shocks) I actually love them, they ride really nice IMO I have the 7000's

The stud eliminator is nice for the front as it opens up worlds of options for shock length's brands ect...

Ok I'm not sure what sure what numbers I need to get. When the shock is in the hole at top fully extened I have to jace my axle up compressing the spring about three inches for the bottom shock mounts to be able to put bolt an nut

Would need to know then lengths for full compression and full extension
And you should also do the eliminators front and rear
This will give ou the best options out there

Full compression would be where my bump stop hits ? And full extension where spring falls out ? I'm not sure if I should have more for extension ?

yes, full compression is when the tire is as high as it can go (should be bump stopped for fenders/rubbing ect) and you want the shock to not bottom out. full extension is when the tire is at max droop. limited by a strap preferably, as using the shock as a limit is not the greatest, puts a lot of stress on the shock and can ruin them pretty fast.

your going to have to disconect the shocks an fully flex out the front/rear and measure eye-eye on the shock mounts, doing the slowing obviously as you could pull brake lines/drop a coil ect...
