Fitting some shocks on this bad boy...

[dnixon]

Okay once I get my Jeep back from getting the SOA welded up.. what is the best way to approach the fitting of shocks.. I will have Just my 31x10.50's on it when I get it back but I would like to go to 35's... so How should I ramp it to test the compression and droop so that I can find the best shock?? And if i do this now will I have to get new ones when i get the 35's? I plan on doing a body or suspension lift to get the extra clearence fot he 35's not whack at the fenders.. Any advice would be great... Thanks!

Best thing to do, is remove your sway bar, and shocks, and drive into a small ravine, so that your front driver wheel is fully tucked, and your rear passenger wheel is fully tucked. So opoosite tires. Your front pass tire should be at full droop, not touching the ground if possible, along with your rear driver tire.

Measure from mounting point to mounting point all around, and then for instance if your going with rancho shocks, download the PDF that they have on there site with all the compressed and extended shock lengths, and find the closest one....
