Longer OME Shocks 6000's >> 60012's ???

[Gunney]

I am at this point in time stuck with OME. (Please don’t recommend other brands)

That being said, last time I did the OME 2.5” lift my front down travel was limited by the length of the front shock. I had 6000’s fitted to the front and 60002 fitted to the rear.

According to the attached PDF, is it not possible to fit 60012 and 60014 shocks that will allow for additional open length and just make sure I extend my bump stops so they accommodate for the closed length???

I will be fitting 35’s and to stop them destroying my fenders I will have longer bump stops so the shocks won’t get close to fully compressed length.

Why not install a 1" body lift and/or front fender trim to address your fender to tire compression interference? We already have paltry front suspension travel...reducing it on either side doesn't make sense IMHO.

And you're probably, assuming you're running the OEM upper control arms, not going to be able to get any more down travel before you risk damaging the ball joint.

What's the valving designed for in the other shocks?
