Rear shocks, how short is too short?

I ordered up the eibach 2.0 kit, and saw that the rear shocks were only rated for 0-1.5” of lift.

How much extra lift do you guys feel comfortable running on “too short” of shocks? I wouldn’t be wheeling this thing but I’d be taking on forest service roads at least.

 

what do you plan to run lift wise in rear? The eibach kit, depending on what you got will be 2 to 2.5 lift. 2 inch lifts in front will level the truck. Generally 2.5 inch lift in front and 1 inch in rear or 1.5 is what folks run for a level truck to slight rake.

 

I haven’t ordered anything for the rear yet, I hoping to lift the rear 2” at least to keep a fair bit of rake.

I was considering ordering the Dakar w/ extra leaf. That would put the rear at 2.5 minimum depending on how much weight is in the bed. But with a shock only rated up to 1.5”, I’m a little nervous.

 

You don't want "extra" lift beyond what your shocks can extend.
