I'm upgrading my rear coils to OZLTD's custome King coils and am also getting a set of his top strut plates for the front. So I need to look at getting long travel shocks to go with the new gear. I now have the OME N132 Nitro shocks, so I can go for the N132L's at a good price or get Stu's long shocks, so what other choice do I have. Does Rancho or Skyjacker do a longer travel shock. I can get a good price from a local ARB on the N132L's but somone may have a better priced alternative for me.

Thanks
CD

im not postive if you could run it w/ the daystar 1.5/2" spacer but any suspension lift you'd be fine

Thanks guy's, I should have thought of the 4" shocks myself thanks again.

Do you know if the RSX17004 extends as long as the OME N132L's?
