« on: May 02, 2006, 19:04:00 »
Does anyone know where to get some +2 inch shocks for an sj as my mates just got a couple of 2 inch lift shackles and the shock are bottoming out every time you go over a bump so he wants some new extended ones. Cheers for your help

they will fit straight onto the front, the backs will need modding to fit, when i fitted mine i used a shock relocation bar from rhino central

i they normally sell them as part of a kit with some shocks but if you email them direct then they would probably just sell the relocation bar seperately or try and make it yourself if your hand with a welder

the shocks you want are astra rears 84-90 they are less than £10 each
