Rear shocks broke TWICE
Hey everyone,
So I have a 2" lift and stock shocks. Only problem is one of my rear shocks has snapped twice in the past few months. The only thing I can think of is with the shackles and 1" block I'm getting a little more than 2" so it keeps snapping. Does this sound right?
The only other reason I can think is that when I installed the shocks the bottom bolt broke so I had to drill it out, and it may be crooked, and making it snap.
What do you think? Where can I get a little bit longer rear shocks at?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
