I have started a Frankenlift and I think I have it down pretty good will mine at least. I got rear 3" synergy progressive rate coil springs, now I called them and asked WHAT ARE THE SHOCK LENGTHS that is recommended for the rear and I didn't get the answer that I wanted lol. They kept telling me get shocks that say FOR 3-4" lift hahaha useless so what I did was my own measurements. this is what I dud in the rear- loosen all bolts track bar, control arms uppers/lowers, I unbolted the hanger that's holding the I think e brake/brake line to the bottom of the tub, disconnected the axle breather tube, unbolted the brake line At the frame and undid some of the fasteners holding the abs lines and unbolt the lower shock bolts. Now with all this done all you have to do is raise the Jeep until your springs are about to loose their "snugness" now pull your current shock out until it's fully extended. If the hole for the shock bolt at the mount and the hole for the bolt on the shock are flush then you can't go any longer shocks WITH ONLY YOUR CURRENT COILS. now if the hole at the shock mount is way lower than the hole in the shock measure the distance from center hole, WRITE THIS NUMBER DOWN lol now all you have to do is get the extended lengths for your current shock. ADD FIRST NUMBER PLUS THIS ONE. And long story short you have a perfect extended length shock for those coils. or if you like to push for more then use coil spring retainers and see what else will hinder the droop(more likely abs lines)
