stock size shocks on 2" BB

jpars · Oct 17, 2006

Hey, am running 235 mud tires and have new shocks.

noticed a rustys 2" AAL kit for only 99 bucks w/o shocks.

my stock size shocks are brand new and actually restored about an inch of clearance on the jeep.

anyways rustys offroad says stock shocks work fine but you know as well as I do Naxja will you tell you straight so, will it work fine or will i be bottoming out?

ps did a light search couldnt find anything

I haven't done that myself (I bought new shocks with my 2" lift), but I'm pretty sure that your problem won't be bottoming out the shocks (since they'll be extended by two inches), but rather your shocks might limit your droop a little. If you're not planning on any crazy flex with your stock shocks, I think you'll be okay.

I had a 2" lift with stock shocks for a while, it was fine and worked good off-road
