shock extensions

Post by canman »

hi everyone again, when I got the front end lined up the mechanic took it for a spin, when he came back to the shop he said I need longer shocks or to get a set of shock extensions, he said the shocks have topped out and that's why its not a smooth ride like it use to be. any suggestions or ideas ? thanks .

You can do this stock shock mod first and see how's the ride. I did it on my wife's 3 since i leveled it.

Rhino ran with extensions for years no problems they were part of the superlift leveling kit ( torsion keys and extenders) lift lost the spacers but not the keys

Check out eshocks.com. I ordered the Bilstein 5100 for my H2 from them and will order the same brand for my wife H3.
