Shocks & Lift Question

[FLCRUIZER]

I want to give my '95 FJZ80 a lift but my shocks are only a little over a year old and I really don't want to replace them now. They are Rancho RS9000X adjustable and they are OK shocks. I'm not sure if I can put an OME 2" lift on with the shocks I have. Here's the specs on the shocks:

Front 368.29/590.55 with 222.25 travel
Rear 372.11/590.55 with 219.07 travel

Also, I'm planning on getting an ARB front bumper. Will I need to get the heavy or will medium do the job?

I haven't seen the travel specs for OME listed anywhere. I'd probably contact Slee or even ARB/OME to see what the travel specs are for their shocks. As far as the front bumper, go with heavies up front, I wish I had.

look in the faq under shock lenghts. You'll find that the shocks you have are just fine. The only factor in your case would be limited wheel travel on the trail.

Will limited wheel travel be a problem due to the travel in the shocks I have or only going 2" of lift?
