I've got extended Daystar shackles with greasable poly bushings and only a few months use on them. Also 2 rear Rough Country shocks about a year old for 2-4" lift. I'm relocating my axle shock mounts up higher so I need different length shocks. Nothing wrong with the shocks.

It's bump stopped properly in the rear. My front shocks are too short they limit my droop quite a bit.

sorry, i was responding more to offroadordnance's post about buying new shocks instead of just bump stopping.

When you relocate the shock mount 2", you get +2" more extended length. I'm already running extended stops and am about 1/2" from the shock bottoming out with the stock axle bracket. I need shorter shocks when I do the mount relocation.
