Hey all,
Firstly, a search on this topic would bring up way too many hits, I tried![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, Splat currenly has about 2" of lift, and is going to have about 2.5-3" soon. I am currently running the stock replacement Gabriel VSTs and they're a bit too short. Also, I bent one in Moab so need replacements anyway. I contacted Gabriel and they don't have any suitable shocks for the lift, so they're out. Too bad, as they're extremely good shocks for the money.
I was interested in the James Duff shocks, but have heard that they're too short, even the 2" lift ones. Do they make 3-4" lift shocks for the Explorer?
I really want to keep the cost down below $35/shock. Is this possible? This puts Ranchos, Bilsteins, etc out of the picture. Or, should I just suck it up and get some Ranchos? hmmmmm.
Thanks for the help!
