Shocks

[Groundhog]

Looking at getting 2 long travel shock for the rear of the rig (its 4 linked), was going to go with Fox air shocks but dont want to spend that much right now, I need to many other important things for the rig. So which one do I go with.(Rancho,BDS,Bilstein,etc) Looking for opinions and would love to here from someone that has used shocks along these lines.

i would check these out. just your standard es3000 shocks that are longers. i havent run that exact length but have run the same shocks before.

What do you consider long travel? I'm using 4 Rusty's shocks. They are for the front of a 10" lift on an XJ. I think they are 14" travel. I can try to dig up the info on them if you are interested.

You need to find out how much travel you have. From full stuff to full extended and go from there.
