Default Time to replace my rear shock absorbers? 2" lift question.

So guys,

you can see from this video I recorded today that my rear shock absorbers need to be replaced:


Question is: My d2a is currently lifted (2" blue bearmach shocks and 2" front Terra firma absorbers). The rear absorbers are original. Can I keep them original even with the lift??

Thanks

I'm at 3.5" on stock shocks. I top out all the time. I go over a speed bump, I go through a dip, I drive through the yard. That's only an inch and a half more than you. I'd recommend going with 2" shocks no matter what brand you get.

Yes, you will be fine. My 2" Lift kit I sell comes with standard length shocks. We do not recommend you go larger unless you are running 3+" of lift or using lengthened bump stops.

No, the TF230 comes with +2" shocks and you know that. Better try some new bait.

Well I assumed that's the kit you were talking about. Not sure why you'd sell a +2" spring with a stock height shock....certainly doesn't help articulation
