Shocks for budget boost.

Im planing on getting a teraflex 2.5" budget boost to help me run 35s until i decide on a more permanent suspension.

My question is should i just use shock extensions for the time being and upgrade later, or will i be able to run a set of shocks for a 2.5" to 4" lift without running into issues with shocks being to long and unseating coils or bottoming out the shocks?

If you're going to run a budget boost for now and now really mess with the suspension I would just use shock extensions and then do the whole suspension later all at once. Just my 2cents. :twocents:

You'll be good with the extenders. I still run them because I haven't seen an absolute need for new shocks quite yet. see if you can get some rubi take off shocks for free or close, they're a little better.

Extensions are probably the way ill go, im more or less just interested if running the shocks with move travel is going to cause problems being that i will only have spacers ontop of coils making up the 2.5" of lift and not actually longer coils.

Yup this! Rubi shocks can be had for cheap and much better than the sport shocks.

You could probably run the Rancho 9000. The 29/30 combination would work. They are about 1" or so longer than factory. That's if your bb came with bump stops.

Another vote for Rancho 9000 29/30's; you can set on 3 for the front and 4 in the back, and you can adjust them as needed.

Did you kit come with bumpstops? If not I wouldn't upgrade until you get extended bumpstops because you can bottom out your shocks without them.

When you say that, are you refering to collapsed or extended? My specs show about 1" longer collapsed, and a little over 3" longer extended.

Collapsed, I'm guessing something like a teraflex bb that comes with bump stop front and back.

If we are in the running, we are offering a rebate until June 30th of this year.
Good luck! ;)
