OEM length rear shocks with extenders?
Flip kit in rear with 1'' lowering shackles and c-notch. Front consists of 2.5 spindles and 2'' Belltech springs.
Doetsch-Tech shocks all around. Front is harsh over bumpy roads and the back is extremely bouncy. I recently added Western Chassis shock extenders in hopes of a better ride out back. If anything, it made the ride even bouncier! Is it possible to run oem-length shocks with the extenders with my setup? I'm thinking any of these "drop shocks" are just too rough for what I'm looking for. I know it's a truck and I know it's lowered, but there has to be a better ride than this? I already found a vendor who sells KYB GR-2 for the front lowered 2''.

Re: OEM length rear shocks with extenders?
That is one of the reasons to use the extenders, the ability to use stock shocks.
The other reason is that it helps shock angle. Posted via Mobile Device
