Well before i go and spend more money I figuer I should get my math checked....I got 2.5 james duff with extended radius arms. So I was thinking if I got the "Daystar" 2 in. coil spacers and 4 in. Rear springs and kept the Duff shackles it should even out to 4.5 in. then naturally get the extended break lines. Oh yea how long could i run with the Duff shocks before i can come up with the money for 6 new ones the right length? And while I'm asking for so much. If there is anyone in Washington thats got both the time and place to help me on a weekend get it all together would be even better. Thanks

Chris
 






Any thoughts on this??????????????
 






Shocks won't last long at all. Depending on their compressed and extended lengths, driving down the street could destroy them.

Be smart and shell out the dough for the correct shocks when you do everything else.

Why do you need 6 shocks? Duff shocks at that!!!! They are valved STIFF!!! Are you racing off-road? Tuff Truck? Do you need that much dampening?

For a daily driver a shock at each corner is more than adaquate for an Explorer.
 






I kinda figured the shocks wouldnt last long. When I got the Duff lift I also got the longer radius arms and the dual shock kit. I'm not doing any tuff truck challenges just wheeling. As far as my math though, Does it make sense to anyone else?
