Rough country 2.5'' with longer SKYJACKER SHOCKS
so i just got these shocks from 4WHEELPARTS i only bought the front two for about $37.99 each.
Softride Hydro Shock by Skyjacker
Part Number: SKYH7075
2007-11 JK Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited with 6" lift, front (I HAVE A 2.5" SPACER LIFT)
Collapsed length (in.): 15.56
Extended length (in.): 26.750
Shock stroke (in.): 11.20
i wanted to get the OME LT shocks but lets just say they weren't $37.99. i wanted to get shocks that were easy on the wallet and have similar lenghts as the OME LT shocks (Collapsed length (in.): 16" Extended length (in.): 27.50")
here are a couple of pics. im pretty sure im missing some details.

I had an issue when I first put on Skyjacker shocks. I bought the Hydro's rated for the 2.5" lift. Big mistake. Come to find out they have the same collapsed and expanded legnths of the stock shocks. Anyhow, after numerous phone calls, I ended up with the same shock you have. The one rated for the 6" lift. It is the perfect lengths. I have the Skyjacker shocks rated for the 2.5" lift on the rear with no complaints. If I can remember right they are the correct lengths needed. I have had no issues with them on the rear and they allow the perfect amount of flex for me.
Sorry i didn't get the part numbers for you but I hope this helps. If you need any further info, just pm me.

Thanks
Well, looks like I know what way I'm going now. my '07 Rubi take-off shocks are getting to the point of being as bad or worse than stock shocks.
I too am running a 2.5" coil spacers with shock extensions.
I'll post up whenever I get a chance to order mine.
