Default 4" or 6" shocks?
So i have a skyjacker 2.5" spring lift and i'm thinking about replacing the nitro shocks with shocks from a 4" or 6" lift kit so I can get more flex and not have to worry about driveline angles. Any oppinions, Thoughts?

So are you saying it was a good mod? Do you get good articulation?

It is not good when the shocks bottom out before the bumpstops... this will ruin your shocks
