Skyjacker Shocks

RingRingRing · 12-14-2008, 05:14 PM

I bought used (2 months) BB sometime ago and never installed. The kit also included 4 skyjacker hydro 7000 shocks. Now I want to buy a 3.5 in lift, how do I know if I can use the same shocks for the 3.5 in lift?
From what i have read, skyjacker makes a shock for a 0-3 in lift and a 4-5 in lift... What would one use for a 3.5in lift?
Thanks....

You can use them but it will limit your down travel and impact the ride quality. If you do use them, make sure to get new bushings all around. Skyjacker had a major problem with bushings from April-June 2008.

Thanks, but which size would you use for a 3.5in lift?

I kinda just went through the same dilemna when I did my F>R swap. I netted about 3.5 inches of lift and couldn't decide which shocks to run.

I ended up going with the Skyjacker Nitro 8000's for 4-5 inches of lift. I plan on going higher in the spring any way and I'd rather have them too long then too short for now.
