What shocks with 4.5 and Longarms
Just looking to see what front shocks you guys running 4.5" of lift and longarms have or recommend. The specs would help out also. I'm sitting on 4.5" and looking into the RK 3 link kit. Thanks in advance!

what do you do/want to do with your jeep? What do you want to spend? lots of shock options out there
and the best way to know what length you need is to measure, but most run 10" travel shocks with a 4.5" lift.

I've been slowly trying to figure out what's out there for shocks the past couple days. I basically just need something longer for droop without sacrificing compression length. Do i have to custom order or are there "long travel" shocks out there? I'm looking for something middle ways..not cheap but not breaking the bank. Thanks.
Just found a lot of those answers by searching long travel shocks. i feel stupid lol. I would still like to see what you guys are running though. thanks again.

you can get bilstein 7100's and some more expensive shocks with "short bodies" which basically gives you a 12" travel shock thats the same size compressed as a 10" travel. or a 14" travel in a 12" body and etc.
i have about the same amount of lift as you with a suspension that i could run with a ton of travel and im perfectly content with my 10" FOA 2.0's.
are you going for speed? jumps? just crawling? street duties? all of the above?
