Re: 4inch shocks on 2.5inch lift kit?

When I lifted my blazer I wanted max suspension flex so I flexed my blazer by going through a deep ditch at an angle with NO shocks on it. I measured the distance between the shock mounting points at max stretch and compression. Then looked through the Skyjacker catolog at shocks. They list all of their shocks dimmensions. Find some that will work with your measurements and order. With my set up I needed what they listed for rears with my lift, on the front, and longer ones for the back. By doing it this way you will not have shocks that are too long or short.
