So let me start off by saying i have a 2.5in spacer lift from rough country. i had just recently busted one of my front shock and decided to upgrade. i was looking to get the most flex out of my current set up just adding new shocks. here is where im at now with the front ONLY. i got shocks from 4WHEELPARTS i only bought the front two for about $37.99 each.
Softride Hydro Shock by Skyjacker
Part Number: SKYH7075
2007-11 JK Wrangler, Rubicon and Unlimited with 6" lift, front (I HAVE A 2.5" SPACER LIFT)
Collapsed length (in.): 15.56
Extended length (in.): 26.750
Shock stroke (in.): 11.20
i wanted to get the OME LT shocks but lets just say they weren't $37.99. i wanted to get shocks that were easy on the wallet and have similar lenghts as the OME LT shocks (Collapsed length (in.): 16" Extended length (in.): 27.50")
here are a couple of pics. im pretty sure im missing some details. after i installed the shocks i went to go test the flex. hoping i didnt need some new brake lines or hoping not to add bumpstops (wich would equal less flex) here is what i saw. i couldnt really take my time and inspect every little detail because my 1.5 year old son started crying. here is what i saw.

now when i looked at the bump stop that was stuffed or copressed i noticed that is was fully compressed and the shock was fully compressed as well there was no shiney rod expossed. thats when i started to wonder HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE YELLOW BUMPSTOP COMPRESS/CRUSH OR WAS THAT IT. the next day i decided to remove the coil and remove the lower shock bolt to see where i was. when i lowered the frame without the coil i saw that the hole for the bolt on the shock was 1/2inch lower than the hole on the frame for the bolt. it was then when i knew that i needed to add bump stop. i decided to remove the rubber bushings from the stock shocks and glue them with my PINK GLUE GUN to the yellow bump stop they measured about 9/16ths. uh my brain is frying right now. more pics so you can see what im talking about.

 

here are the pics showing new Bump stop vs with out adding any

 

i could have used my 2inch body lift pucks and cut them down to size but figured that the rubber bushings from the stock shocks were a perfect size. IF YOU HAVE A 2.5IN ROUGH COUNTY BB AND WANT TO PUSH THE LIMITS OF THE SET UP THIS MIGHT BE THE WAY TO GO. ok peeps let me know where i went wrong. and trust me i know i messed up using a pink hot glue gun

 

now if i wanted to get a longer shock than this extended brakelines would definetely be needed.

 

If you use the brackets provided with the kit on the front and rear it will be just fine. This si the setup I use and with the swaybar disconected and full flex the brack line is fine. Just go a little at a time and check it.

 

do you have the same lenght shock? i did add the brake extension brakets to the front and i dont think i would go with a longer shock i wouldnt want to push my brake lines to the limit. or maybe im just being a little sysy.
