BPE's for a 2"BB. Necessary?
Sorry, originally posted this in the OEM forum:
I have heard mixed reviews about whether it is necessary to install Bar Pin Eliminators when installing a 2" lift (coil spacers and Shackles) I would just replace with lift shocks, but all 4 shocks are pretty new and in good shape.
I dont use her for heavy offroad, basically just a daily driver and the occasional camping trail.
I know the stock-length shocks will be near or at their max extension.
I also know that BPE's have other positive side effects, but are they a must??
Thanks

BPE's have nothing to do with the size of your lift. BPE's are strictly to eliminate the possibility of the bar pin bolts seizing in the bolt holes and breaking when you attempt to remove them.

I guess I should re-phrase my question:
Can I use my stock-length shocks with a 2" lift, or will I break them?
