Once you hit the 2.5" lift area, you can run up to about a 12" travel shock depending on your coils extended length. MCs are the longest. You could run about 12" on a stock setup but your coils will be an issue. This is all with stock mounts also.

but thats where you have to be careful to many kits include shocks that arent ideal, or shocks that are listed a 3-5" lift or 0-3" lift. They shouldnt be listed that way. If you go up to a 3" lift now or possibly even a 3.5 doesnt mean youll get more flex. It could be the same shock lengths
