yeah I forgot to write down the brakeline extension brackets, front and rear. yeah im thinking about possibly ditching the rs999331 and 332's and going with the rs999330 and 29's.. what do you guys think? so you guys think the only thing I would have to do is relocate the steering stabilizer and do a front track bar? the rear should be good for a track bar bracket?

I am going to use 0.75" front and 1.75" rear synergy coil spacers along with this and am looking at 2" front and rear bumpstops. Should that suffice for bumpstop length?
OP - what size bumpstops are you using?

I'm in the same situation as the OP. I am buying 19/60 springs for a 2D JK.

I am using my stock shocks for now but was recommended the Rancho adjustables:
- Rancho RS999326 RS9000XL Series Shock - Front
- Rancho RS999328 RS9000XL Series Shock - Rear
Building out my jeep has been fun so far and using the forum and help with folks like you and others make it that much more enjoyable. Thanks!

[QUOTE=jimps;4115418]I was just on Synergy's website reading the part description print and for 35" tires it says to go with their 3". So I'll just get them.

I would consider running the rs999329 front and rs999330 rear.. the collapsed length is only an inch or so more then rubicon shocks and you will get a good amount more extended travel.

Cool. I was going by what would fit my Jeep and the 326 and 328 ranchos were the only ones that pulled up but if you're saying I will get more extended travel with these then I can order those instead
I think the 326 and 328 is for lifts 3" and above. I have to see what height I get with the 19/60 coils first.

you need to look at your whole suspension......if you get longer shocks those brake drop brackets will be to short and you will end up ripping your brake lines out at full droop, you will need longer brake lines. You also need to look at full compression, if your bump stops are to short with a longer shock body you will damage your shock. If your going to piece a kit together you should look at complete kits and see what's in them. there's a reason why a manufacture doesn't add shocks made for a 4in lift to a 2in kit.
