I had to take mine off after I did my lift. Always wondered if a longer one was made.
That's a REALLY good point. Don't recall fifth shock travel and valving mentioned for lifts or drops before. :scratch:I had to take mine off after I did my lift. Always wondered if a longer one was made.
Mine was completely shot when I removed it. Is the 5th shock a gas pressurized unit?

Now here's something I've read about the damper and am curious about. Guys that are lifted, have to remove them because they no longer function properly and will extend too far anyway.
Mine isn't, couldn't tell you if it's original but it probably is.
You could rig up an extension for the mounting system as mentioned above; I'd prefer to custom fit a Watt's Link, it would do the same thing but better.
Look at crown Victoria interceptors , they came with a watts link setup , I have been looking at it myself
Do they have an 8.8 diff?
An extension to the bracket might not even be necessary.
They could probably measure old vs new distance, then call Monroe and have them look up what would fit length wise. If you have an afternoon to spend you can almost DIY by just varying the last two digits on the following URL, keeping in mind that the travel will automatically be longer but bushing size and bolt diameter aren't necessarily deal breakers, depends on one's willingness to mod a bit:

Yes but its coil sprung instead of leaf
They have a boss cast above the pinion for the stud that the center link mounts on
