Shocks to suit 3" lift springs was created by Leepeet69

I have got a 3" suspension lift on my jimny, 3" springs from JimnyBits and pro comp shocks, how long should the shocks be fully extended, i seem to be struggling with articulation, the suspension doesnt travel far!

Have you fitted extended brake lines dude? That could be stopping it moving

I've got the same springs and shocks from jimnybits it seems to me the rear shocks are to short, if I jack it up by the chassis it only seems to lift it about 2 inches before the rear wheel lifts off the floor. So the rear axle only has around two inches of downward travel.

Get a pair of these - www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=14

Dont take long to fit and add an extra inch or so to the shocker length. I fitted them as a matter of course when i lift mine
