Big Jimny Rear Shock Mounts was created by kirkynut
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
