Shock sizing

[russ0943]

Where do you guys order your shocks from?

I'm having difficulty in finding a site that will show me the lengths (comp/ext).

I'm SOA CJ and used some shocks I had lay'n around but they are just too short and limit my flex.

BBCS from Poly Performance are some good shocks. So are the FOA shocks which you can get directly from FOA.

If you are just talking about regular, everyday shocks....try any of the standard vendors. Trail-Gear shows the lengths to the bilstein shocks (which are pretty good themselves) on their website.

Measure the length at bumpstop and the length at full droop. Call 4wheel parts or any vendor on here. They should have books that have compressed, extended and overall length.

For regular ole shocks I always use the Pro Comps. Here's an INVALUABLE chart that was given to me last time I was looking for shocks. I like the ES9000, the part numbers on here work for those as well. Replace the beginning "3" with 9 for ES9000. If you have any questions let me know.

shaffers offroad gave me a killer deal on my 5150s (they just took a while to ship cause they were outta stock when i ordered and they are out west). i also looked at shockwarehouse.com and allshocks.com
