Default Will ome shocks fit tf lift wt extentions?

I will be purchasing a tf 2.5 coil lift here soon and am wondering if I could buy the kit with the shock extentions and put the ome shocks on them. I have read that the regular 2 inch lift ome shocks dont allow for much travel so asking to see if the extentions would help. I can pick up the ome shocks pretty cheap used. I know optimally, getting the ome long travel shocks is better but cant find any used. I will eventually upgrade to the long travels tho, just seeing if I can keep the cost down for now. Anyone run this setup or have any suggestions?

My bud did that because he didn't get enough droop. But make sure you put brakeline relocation brackets or longer lines

it would work with longer brake lines..personally, if your gonna invest in long travels down the road, just skip the yellows and go for long travels which need brake lines as well as spring retainers.

I have a friend who does extreme Jeeping. He said with just a 2" lift it's best to change the shocks. I want to do it right the first time so I'm just going to wait til I can get both.

I was wondering the same thing but didn't know if the thread on the tf extender would work with the emu shocks. I ended up not chancing it and went with the RC extender cause I know thtat will work since its connected at the bottom. So far its working great.
