Default R.C shocks

so I bought a rc 3in lift aal series 2 (lca) and I was wondering if the n2.0 shocks that came with it are the same ones they use for their bigger kits. If so what size. I am asking because I would like to put a 2in bb on top of my 3in and was wondering if I could use the same shocks. Thanks

I think they are the same ones that come in the 4.5" kit. After that you need new shocks

They wouldnt use the same length shock for both 3" and 4.5" kits. But the best way to tell would be to just email them and ask for lengths.

Friend has the 3" kit shocks and they measured ~15" collapsed. My 4.5" kit shocks measure ~16.5" collapsed.

When I bought the 4.5" kit I asked if they were the same as the 6", they said yes...not sure of the 3"though.

My shocks said they were good from 4.5"-6". The 3" shocks are different.

i have the same setup and i built longer bumpstops so i dont max out the shocks that came with my 3" kit and when i get my new shocks the bumpstops will help keep them from maxing out and keep from rubbing the fenders. sry that is what i should have said in the first place
