Title: tracker rear shocks longer than crown vics or f-150
Post by: joe dirt on April 22, 2010, 04:55:29 PM

im looking for a set of rear shocks that are longer then the common crown vics or f-150's...im running tj coils moved tto the bottom of the frame, gaining 4 1/2 inches over what the tj's give me..roughly 8 1/2" lift

wondering if im forced to but an aftermarket lift shock,..

F-150 shocks are quite a bit longer that Crown Vic shocks, you need longer than that?

you wouldnt happen to have the length on the f-150 shocks would you?...i thought the f-150 ones were about the same size as the vic's??

I don't have the length, but the F-150 shock had to be fully compressed
to get it on the back of the Kick, and the Crown Vic shock works perfectly
with my 3" lifted springs.

I looked up 3 different lengths, depending on the type and year of the F-150,
starting at 26, 24 and 22, extended length, so I would measure your normal
ride height and pick a shock that is in the center of it's stroke for the length
you need
