Shocks bottomed out?

I just realized my rear stock shocks are bottoming out since I replaced the coils with 3" drop coils. I plan on installing these when they come in, will that fix the problem?

(2-4" drop under select option)

Re: Shocks bottomed out?

Those look like the Doetsch tech shocks that CPP sells. I recently installed KYB Gas Adjusts on the front and love them. I plan to use the same model on the rear. I currently have 4" drop springs but plan to go lower.

Re: Shocks bottomed out?

You could flip your lower rear shock mounts, this will make about a 2"-3" difference and stock shocks should work. I did this on my bagged ride and am using stock application shocks (fine with frame on rear end). Take the mounts off, heat and beat down the ridge and bolt to the opposite side upside down. Easy as pie and cheap to boot.
