Shocks
 

OK I feel retarded but I cant get new shocks to fit. I have 5 inch springs on my 85 runner but now shock mount modifications. I tried to get bilstien 5125 at all four corners. I got all the way down to 10 inch and they are still way to long. What the hell? Do I have to modify the rear to have angled shocks and put hoops up front? Is there a way to get longer shocks w/o a bunch of cutting and welding? Thanks

BJ:help:

Did you try compressing the shock?

Yes...... the rear comes close to fitting fully compressed but the front is still way off

Take measurements, suspension compressed then extended? Go from there

dude it sounds like there just to long I wouldnt run them in a bind all the time its not good for a sock to be fully compressed or fully extended often its hard on the seals
