Shock question...

[BearDog]

I'm not an expert on shocks. Not even a little bit.

I've got a Fox Performance Series that is starting to leak. Will be bad soon, so I need to replace them. No p/n on the shocks that I can find. Truck has a cheap REI 2.5"-3.5" lift that they don't even make anymore. Sitting in the driveway, front and rear both measure about 24" eye to eye.

Anyone just "know" what will fit, or do I need to remove one and measure extended/collapsed lengths?

It's best to measure the stroke, both front and rear.

But just about every shock has a lift range that they'll work for.

Ok. Got the existing p/n's.

Front: 985-24-177 = The Fox for 2"-3" lift. Extended 26.42 - Compressed 16.80
Rear: 985-24-219 = The Fox for 0"-1.5" lift. Ext 26.92 - Comp 16.80

So, with those, I get 2.17" and 2.67" of drop and 7.45" of stuff on both. I don't think these are the right shocks for my 3" lift.

Think I'll call Fox and see what they think.

Measure your shocks length at full stuff and then buy the longest compressed length shock you can fit. Buying shocks by lift height is just not the right way to do it.
