Big Jimny Rear Shock Mounts

I have noticed that my rear shock mounts have been catching on something when off road, which I understand to be usual fare.

This has led me to consider getting some of your rear shock mounts Martin, as they will mount the shocks up out of the way.

I have a KAP 3 inch lift though and as the mounts effectively mount the bottoms of the shocks an inch or so higher I am concerned that this will cause the springs to dislocate upon full articlualtion - something it experiences a bit with the off roading I do.

Will this be the case or should I have 1 inch shorter shocks.

I need some new rear shocks anyway as the old pro-comp ones are a little jaded, albeit they are not leaking.

Do you stock the correct rear shocks aswell Martin?

Many thanks

I have 3" springs, you'd be hard pushed to dislocate the rear springs, i used to have +4" rear shocks on one of my previous jimny and the springs didnt dislocate then.

hi there

i changed the standard shocks on my jimny for 3 inch pro comp ones, i noticed that the rear spring would disslocate upon full articulation so i cable tied the springs to the axel, problem solved now if the do come out then they will just go back in to their normal position. hope this helps kris

Cheers Gary, - Revajones, are you using + 3 inch shocks with standard springs???
