Where can i find longer shocks?
I lifted my truck 3 inches in the front and 2 in the back, and i cannot for the life of me find any shocks that are 2 inches longer with the same mounting setup.
I have a '93 V6 4x4 extended cab. I've been riding on the old shocks, and i feel them slam every time i hit a bump. IU've been looking for hours, but nobody seems to have 2 inch lift shocks for my truck. Rancho had a 1 inch lift, but i'd hate to waste money if they still aren't long enough.
Anybody able to tell me where they got theirs? I only need the rear. I have near to 0 travel in the front. haha

I have blocks in the rear. I hear them slam when i hit big bumps. Don't want to end up busting a seal or something and being stuck somewhere

shocks only slow up and down movement, by no means are they actually holding anything from falling off, ive driven with no shocks and broken in half shocks, no shocks are like when shocks are worn out.. bouncy bouncy... broken is same but I just tied em out of the way until I got home never left stranded ...
this is were u get something with similar mount ontop for the ffront and just press out the bottom mounting tab and replace with yours for the front.. the rear is similar but I used shocks from a jeep for my Dakota's rear and just pressed out the pins in the top and bottom bushing front I believe were from a chevy I cant remember I just searched wreckers till I found the front ones..lol , you can also make a extension bracket to lift shocks higher or remake the top of your current front to make it longer mounting... when modifying old trucks gotta get creative... I know I did lol

actually for the trailmaster 4 inch lift that was once made.. all it had was spacers that went on lower front shocks and rear lower bracket that lifted them up.. you can get some and make a bracket its not hard another option would be square tubing cut say 3 inches higher wide enough to fit over original spot, and to fit shock inside it with bolt.. many ways to do it, if you weld, relocate it higher.... list goes on.
im dealing with a misaligned rearend on my jeep right now and cant figure it out neither can dealer know what that means.... HAMMER TIME!
