another rear shock Q?
« on: September 18, 2007, 07:10:01 AM »
ok...i currently have 2" coil spacers in front and rear, resulting to a little over 2.5" of lift in the front and a strait 2" lift in the rear...i put on the crown vicky shocks when i did the 2" spacer install....now im debating weather to put in 4 door coils or a 3" spacer in the rear....with that extra 1" of lift in the rear, am i going to need even longer shocks??

Yes you will need longer shocks the ones you have now will prolly get you by until you get some but you take a chance of over extending them the ones that you need to look into are a Monroe 32305 they fit the front of a early 90s f150 they are about 31 inches long fully extended. which is about the closest to what you need.

I am also using these shocks, only thing I dont like about them is they are alittle stiff....

right on....that thing looks bad|removethispart|@$$....i see you didnt space your diff down either....i have 2" spacers all the way around resulting in 2.5" in the front, and my cvs are fine....good to know that i could put her up another half inch before any issues...

Couple years ago someone posted up their autocad plans for a spacer.  Might do a search for them.


I've got the Calmini 3" lift on my Tracker and I'm running rear shocks off of a 2wd '98 F150.  The mountings are perfect for the Tracker and they're both slightly longer extended and slightly shorter compressed than the Calmini 3" shocks.

Heres a link to one someone built.  Depending on how thick you want it you may want to change the thickness but all the hole measurements are correct.
