New Shock Concerns
 
So I recently added a 3" spindle lift, an AAL and soon chevy shackle. So i think at 20,000 miles it is time to replace my stock shocks. But I dont know if I should be lookin for. I am pretty sure I am going to go with bilstiens, but with my lift what will work? Could i get the ones that are designed for EDGEs and 4x4s, or will i need to look at something else?
Thanks,
Jutty

should be ok with the 4x4 length shocks.........or bilstiens pobably make a shock for a 3" lifted 2x4

^ I dunno if they make a lift shock, but i would imagine that an edge or 4x shock would work. Just take some shock length measurements and compare to what you need and what you have.

so do you have coils in the front?

i have some kyb shocks that were on my truck, the monomax version that i would let go for cheap. hit me up on aim sometime.

yeah... i got my pro comps at 4 wheel parts and they have shocks made longer for a lift on a 4x2 ranger. mine are the stock size with a 2" lift all around and they are fine. but the longer shocks are made for rangers with over 2 inches of lift

4x2 xl/xlt have different shock mounts (front) from a 4x4/edge so they wont work without moding...

its not much, my truck is running on 4x4 shocks front and back, but the driver side front popped out on the bottom, i messed up the little bar that bolts on
