I just build a nice set of shock hoops for my YJ. Now I need to find a good set of shock that will extend out to 40in. The shocks are 31in when its just sitting. Any help would be cool. :flipoff2:

Typically you would measure your suspensions travel, find out which shock you'll need with the right amount of travel, then find out how much of that travel is compression/droop and make your mounts accordingly. With your measurements it looks like you have 9" of droop which would make 9"-11" of compression with the mounts you have made :confused:


If there is a 40" travel shock it'll have about 18"-20" of travel (just a guess, I've never seen or hear of anything like that).

Is this going on the rig in your sig? Seems a bit excessive.

I've got 18's on my rig,


but I dont use the whole shaft :flipoff2:

I've got 14's, Bilstein 5125's just came today :smokin: , can't wait to put them on.

longest i could find cheaply was 36 extended and 20.5 collapsed

skyjacker makes some loooong shocks

you need to move your mounts

seriously did you just put some mounts on without measuring anything? Way to go slugger....

BrettM is right, Skyjackrer has your answer, they have available as long as 50". They advertise a 40"er too

I may have two used ranchos. They are longer than 5012's. I will take measurments tonight when I get home.

Hell I've got 14"s and I think they are a tad to long... Only time I would run anything longer than 12" would be with coilovers

this type of chit is the exact reason the older guys who made PBB what it is don't come around anymore.......



GET OFF OF YOUR LAZY FAWKIN' ASS & DO SOME HOMEWORK; OR SHOULD WE HOLD YOUR DICK WHILE YOU PISS TOO?!? :mad:




-worn the fawk out.

Edelbrock has a 16" travel reservoir with a 37" extended length. The new website is up and it has a length and control chart for all the resi's.

Edelbrock Resi/Non Resi lengths (http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/shocks/universal_offroad-1.shtml)

:mad3: 1.You're an idiot for not knowing what shocks/length you're going to use before your make your mounts.

:mad3: 2. You're an idiot. Learn English, not that broken up, butchered shit above.

:mad3: 3. You're an idiot. P&T is right when he said that people like you drive away the people who actually make PBB great.

:mad3: 4. You're an idiot for not thanking anyone who replied to your dumb ass post with a stupid ass question on a topic that could have been covered by a simple search.

And finally shame on me for replying to your stupid ass question and actually trying to help someone as useless as you. I would suggest that you lurk, search, ask questions in the appropriate forums, or you can go sit in the corner and fist yourself.


Damn, can't believe I just waisted all this time typing over this idiot... :shaking:

:cow: How'd this post miss Tuesday?

disregard if you're an engineer. They always put the cart before the horse and hope that somebody and clean up the mess they make :flipoff2:

What do you expect from a guy who names himself after a dumbass from a latenight movie channel..... Good luck with your hoops and shocks superdude... Hope your welding is better than your engineering... :goofball:
