RC (3" series 2) shocks with shackles/spacers

DrRandy · Mar 11, 2009

I have a RC 3" series 2 (purchased a few months ago) with THERE shocks. Can i use these shocks and put in 1.75" spacers and 2" shackles?? .....I got these from a buddy who decided not to us them.

Or will i need to change shocks??

Bilstiens are the best out there! if you can't afford those like myself. i went with the doetsch tech 8000 pre runners, with built in bump. they are a firmer shock, not stiff but firm, $ 44.50 ea. thay also make a baja ryder, same features,softer valved.$ 199.00 for 4 shocks. there# is 1-800-8-shocks. good bang for buck shock.

just keep the shocks you have now if your not gonna wheel it until you can measure for new shocks. Find something to flex the heep out on measure the the extended and compressed length and go from there. There is no reason to change until you know the shocks are your limiting factor. Unbolt the bottom of the shock flex it out and see if it is long enough.

bar pin eliminators are said to give about an inch of travel back to the shocks. its also a hell of alot cheaper option.
