Rock Krawler 3.0 X-Factor No Limits

[Duke56]

EDIT:
My Ranchos are already starting to rust even though I sprayed them with a couple coats of clear prior to install to try and prevent it.
Not a big deal since they’re only temporary. My extended length is .8 inches shy of RK’s recommended and to me that’s OK too because during my install of the rear springs the rear brake lines were screaming at me to STOP STRETCHING ME SO TIGHT! I took the rear calipers off
(2 bolts, easy) so they stopped their bitchin’. LOL. The shorter extended length of the shock will limit droop but I’m not planning MOAB or Rubicon anytime soon but they are on my bucket list.
I would contact Rancho and get the collapsed and extended dimensions from them as well as the inside diameter and length and offset of the eyelets. The Gladiator rear shock eyelets have zero offset and the ID is for a 14mm bolt.
Neither Northridge or Rancho show the extended/collapsed and eyelet dimensions.
I’m from Missouri...... show me!

Did you need longer brake lines?

Did you need longer brake lines?

YES! But only because I’ve gone back to OEM shocks and installed shock extensions until I can budget for the rear Fox Remotes.
The extensions gave me more droop so I ordered and installed a set of EVO’s from Northridge 4X4 found here:

I would like to extend the sensor wires too but haven’t found any extensions for them.
However, the sway bar and links seem to keep the wire from breaking since it limits the droop of the rear axle but still looks uncomfortably tight. It will get torn out or break if the sway bar is ever disconnected. Scary
