Default Metal Cloak 6-Pack Shocks - will they fit?

Hi,

I like to buy 2 of the 13" 6-Pack Shocks for my XJ. I have the BPE-Kit on the rear upper shock mount. Do you guys think the shock have enought space to fit the rear of my XJ?

Thank you.

The rear shocks I ran with a stock suspension measured 12.95" collapsed so even with the bpe's you'd be fine.

If your meaning will the shock run out of travel and hit on the compression stroke (bottom out) you'd have to have extremely weak leaf springs. If it is close you could extend the bump stops but you should good to go.

Hi,

no I mean because of the design and size of the shock. Maybe the Shock hit the exhaust or something?

Just looked at mine and I'd have good clearance even with a 2 1/2" exhaust pipe. In fact the frame is a bit closer than the exhaust pipe but still okay.
