Shocks for Enforcer Lift

CrazyTrainJK · Dec 12, 2017

Well, I have finally made my new years list up with one exception, the shocks. I know I don't have the budget to get King shocks but what else would you suggest? I am running 35"s and will have to stay there until budget comes along for a PR44 front axle.

1. Evo Enforcer Stage 1 3" lift
2. Evo Drag Link Flip Kit
3. Adams 1350 front drive shaft

I looked at them but was wondering if there was a chance of hitting the adjustment knob on rocks or anything ?

I have the 9000XL's, they are great. You can avoid hitting the adjustment knob by mounting the shock with the knob facing inward.

I haven’t had any problems yet but facing them forward wouldn’t be too bad of an idea.

^^^^ This. I broke the rear adjusters off a couple of times before spinning them inward. No problems now.

I just ordered the same setup plus rockstars and exhaust spacers instead of a drive shaft (yet).

I went with Rancho 9000xl shocks as they come highly recommend. I will mount them with the knobs facing inwards.

I previously had bilstiens and they were stiff.

I like that idea :thumb: Can you still adjust them mounted that way ?

It's a little more inconvenient, but yes, and worth the little extra trouble.

Nice, I will have to check back and see what you think after install and some trail use.

I mounted mine with the knob facing out until I got them dialed in where I like them, then turned them knob facing in.

I ordered RS999331 fronts and RS999330 rear shocks because of the rockstars. Without rockstars I was told to go with RS999332 rears.

The 31/32 combo are a little longer than the 29/30 combo, but was told that 31/32 would be the best fit with the 3" Enforcer. I then added the rockstars for a little more clearance and dropped the rear back to the 30.

If you read through the "enforcers unite" thread, there is plenty of discussion on this very topic, especially farther in it.

It will be just a bit before i install it all. I still need to order some 35s and either rims or wheel spacers.

Did you find the discussions about the front shock body contacting the frame? I’m not at all saying that it’s required, but I didn’t want to chance it. I run the front lower shock relocation brackets.

when your shock does this, [emoji115]

the top of the shock can contact the frame.

I need to look into the front shock lower relocation brackets more. I haven't ordered them yet but they sound like a good idea.

If you get enough flex you’ll need them. I’m running 331s with a 2” lift and couldn’t even get the shocks fitted without relocation brackets. I went with synergy and they’ve held up well

I will do that thanks for the info.
