Shock lengths how much is to much

[Gasman]

Currently running a 3” lift and shocks installed by previous owner front and rear shocks both measure 26.5” how much longer shock can I run? I think the drive shafts especially the front are limiting factor. Thanks

28" extended length in the front is generally safe for the front driveshaft. At 28.5" you will oblong the collar on the CV.

Thanks what about rear?

Rears are typically longer, but go on Clayton's website and look at their recommendations for the fox 2.0s for their 2.5" lift. That should get you a pretty close starting point. If those fronts are the same length (26.5") look at their recommendation for their 3.5" kit. You may have to add bump stop running the longer shocks to keep from bottoming them out.
