So I recently installed a rubicon shock and coil takeoffs on my Overland, as well as the 1.5” Teraflex front spacers..this gave me about a 2.5” lift up front overall…I added the synergy shock extension brackets to hopefully keep the same travel as my OEM shocks..

My question is…1. Was it necessary for shock extension brackets? 2. If not, would it hurt anything to keep them on? I don’t want to blow my shocks if they do need to be stretched further without the brackets. Am I just paranoid?

I sold my stock Rubi suspension to an Overland owner. He was just going to swap in the Rubi stuff with no other add-ons or mods. I doubt you need the brackets. But as far as causing damage down the road by continuing to run them, that's a great question.

I added the 1.5” leveling kit though.
