So after I swap out my 3rd member this weekend, I want to replace my shocks. However, because I bought the X with a lift kit already on it, I have no idea what shocks to use. Is there a way figure this out? Also, is there anything I should look out for when I am doing this? I am pretty new to the whole lift thing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 






After I did my lift, and added custom shock mounts, I called James Duff and gave them measurements from bolt to bolt of natural ride height, Max droop, and Max stuff ( which I estimated from where the tire edge made contact with the wheel well minus 1 inch.

I love the shocks that they sent me; I don't know if they'll have something for your ride (I am running quad shocks up front which might skew my opinion), but I would call them and ask, they really know our X's.
