I'm about to update my lift and would like a little advice. I'm intending to get the EVO Enforcer 3" lift and Rancho 7000 series shocks, as stated in the title. I was thinking of getting the 9000 series shocks, but their larger diameter would require a shock relocation kit I believe.

Has anyone on this forum had experience with these shocks and a similar lift?

An aftermarket drive shaft is advised with this lift & I'm planning on getting a JE Reel 1310 shaft. I have RCV axle shafts and my thinking is that I would rather bust a drive shaft than the gears. Is that good thinking or not?

I do some rough trails with steep loose climbs locally and a little rock crawling as on some of the Moab trails, Kane Creek - Steel bender etc.

My rig's current equipment is listed in the signature below.

 

The 5000x shocks are really nice too. Dont let the cost fool you.
I ran the 5000x with EVO coils for a while.
