Here is a pic of them.

Nah, I know it's not right. Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, this is just to improve the ride until I can get the correct shocks for it. My jeep sees almost no offroad time lately which I'm not happy about so I figured for now it wouldn't hurt. Already looking in to the Zone Nitro shocks.

call grimmus at rough country. I had to send him pics and a link to my thread on here about the exact same problem last week. He has been forwarding all of these to the R&D department because its completely unacceptable to not have a shock specific for the 6.5 platform. Im sure they will do something to try and help you out too. I dont know how long you have had your lift on but mines only been on a couple months and they took care of me very well. MAKE SURE TO TALK TO JASON(GRIMMUS) ext 116. Im taking what they send me graciously and see how it works. Its gotta be better than it is now and Ill get some 5100s whenever the money becomes available.

NO BUENO!

I've had this lift for over a year and the shocks are pretty much getting toast.
Besides I got my heart set on the ones Frank showed me.

Can you make me some too?


Just wondering if the OP found the shocks he needed. I finally spent the money on the Zone Offroad 4.5 lift shocks. Turns out they are the same exact size as the RC 3 inch lift shocks. Now what?
