A Shocking Question

[Bigbike]

So I raised my rear shock mounts to my axle tubes. I was like o hai raised them about 2-3 inchs and I have like 3.5 inchs o lift so a stock shock should work, well I dont think so. I have less droop now because one shock will compress all the way and the other one cant extend due to this. So can I get a shock with a longer shaft and short body? would that work? What about "inboarding" the rear shocks? Can some one explain the inboarding? Would I use a longer travel shock and make a mount for putting it inside the jeep?

even after watching it flex out, i still dont get it. in theory it works.

how does it work in theory? the stock shocks are a shorter travel than the 3.5 inch shocks. thats where you lose the wheel travel in the end, inboarding them is a good idea then you can run longer travel shocks easier.

axle-side shock mounts were moved up 3 inches, XJ has 3.5 inches of lift or so. the distance from lower shock mount to upper shock mount should have been reduced to close to stock, I.E. making it so a stock shock would work. I dunno, I's not scientizt.

Caleb- BBC's will fix it

i lose about .5" of droop with stock shocks in back and 4.x" o leeft

i dont lose sleep over it.

the more you inboard them the less effective the shock becomes
