I run ES1000 shocks on mine and there is no problem with rubbing
the ES3000 as far as i know don't rub on the springs either
the ES9000 are thicker but with them been gas charged instead of oil
you can run with them inverted with no problems at all

Hi Tiny,
Errmmmm only a little bit on the rear of the front arch
around an inch by about three inch has been removed it sound's
worse than it is.
However, i have a 3" suspension lift and a 2" body lift.
Ideally i could do with trimming them all the way around
as they do rub ever so slightly on the rear when at max articulaton
which is not too often so i havn't bothered.

I have a set of Procomp shockers on mine but they were put on by the previous owner and I dontt know what they are.
It is clear that they rubbed on the springs at some point as they have marks / slight dents in them. I have a KAP 3 inch lift. The previous owner just apaced them out a little with penny washers until they didn't quite rub and now they're fine.
