I was in Autozone today looking at rear spring clamps when i noticed some front shock extenders. They screw on the top of the stud and extend the shock by 2". Should I get these when I get my ZJ coils or should I save up and get longer shocks. Im on a realy tight budget here and any advice is apreciated.

A reply from a guy a few minutes south, Hi! Anyway you can use them, infact i am running them right now but it is the less than ideal setup. you could get longer shocks or get some yj shocks and either get a barpin into the lower bushing or make some bpe's. We should wheel sometime, once in a while i head up off of cobble hill road in e swanzey new hampshire.

I had some custom shock extenders that were basically that same thing as the ones at the parts store. the only problem was when I hit a bump offroad and one broke, it wasn't actually the extender that broke but the stud on the Old Man Emu shock, it bent over all the way and then broke off. I think they are probabaly alright for the street but I wouldn't trust them off the hard stuff.

make sure you get some bump stops.

Just as long as your shocks don't bottom out before the stops.
