Upgrading my lift... ?

XJClassic · Nov 26, 2004

I have an RE 2" BB w/OME shocks. I want to put on the 3.5 superflex with full packs. The question I have is, can I use my OME shocks that came with my BB, or do I have to get longer ones? I'd like to keep them if possible, they only have about 2k on them, would BPE's give me any additional to keep them?

depends on their length. I think they might end up being too short cause the full pack will give you plenty of lift (actually for a few days the 3.5" will probably give you around 6" till it settles)

You CAN use them, but you won´t benefit from all the flex your new spring will give you. I´d sell the shocks, add the RE to the existing BB and buy some shocks for 6" of lift.

Yes, that was another thought. I'd really like to run 285's or 305's so, more lift will be needed anyway.

Thoughts on what shocks to run.... ?
