Default TF BB quick question

Will the TF BB work ok on my unlimited with out having the shock extensions or longer shocks? I plan to get longer shocks later but not in the budget at the moment, I dont really do any harsh off road at the moment just minor trails. would this be ok , or am i risking F'ing somthing up?

I honestly dont think that the stock shocks will reach that far, and if they did, your travel would be reduced greatly as the shock would be fully extended all the time.

You will need to put the extenders on until you get the new shocks. They are not that hard to put on or take off when your new shocks arrive.

I dont have the extenders thats the prob. and they are hard to find by them selves unless yall know of a company that is selling them by there selves.
I dont really do any thing that requires alot of shock travel, but yall think even knowing that , that i will still have a prob

Look dude, all you gotta do is find a GOOD parts man. Ask him to look at what the travel and length is on the stock shock. Then, let him find some in the book (a GOOD parts man can still use these) that are 2.5" longer, with the same ends. They have ALL of that info in the parts book. You can get some cheap Bumper To Bumper shocks (probably cheaper than extensions) til you want to upgrade. Problem solved.
