Anyway, even know i wasnt fond of body lifts at all, i kinda picked up a 2" Susp Lift and a 2" BL for $300 today so after hearing the pros and cons and everyones opinion ive decided i will probably fit the blocks after all.




I get you mate, and thats what ive been thinking about, down travel, is there that much involved to fit longer shocks?
There is a few ways of getting longer shocks in safely.
As mentioned before, did the previous owner modify or fit longer bump stops?
If not it could be a possible cause for the stuffed shocks.
So that's one, extend the stops so the shock doesn't bottom out. you loose compression but gain a lot of drop..

Or raise the top mounts of the shocks so the bottom of the tube sits at the same height as the original. This allows good compression, but not as much drop as option one due to the shock being higher...
Most go for option one as they are running larger tyres and by extending the bump stops it stops the wheel going to far into the guard and scrubbing.

Now depending on the severity of your shock over length you may need to do both mods. Say you wanted to run a 3" spring and 6" shocks.. that wound need towers raised and bump stops, as well as spring retainers, guides, long as help brake lines etc...

So anything is achievable mate. Just gotta nut out the best plan...
Hope I've made sence now...
