Overland trip planned, rear shocks won't arrive in time

Hey everyone,

Planning my first overlanding trip. My fox extended 2.5 dsc fronts will arrive on time, but my rear 1-2 fox shocks won't. My rear icon 1.5 leaf pack will be here as well. I need to take it when I have it planned, so my options are to install the lift, wheels, and 35x12.5 tires, but rear factory shocks, or run it factory height on tss 20's with factory duratracs. Will my rear shocks be OK with the 1" of lift? The bed will have around 200lbs so I only expect 1" of lift. But I think I'll do much better on the lift and bigger tires, as long as my rear shocks don't break or anything.
Thanks!

 

You will be fine have safe trip!

 

That's awesome, thank you. Another thought I had was, maybe to improve the experience, buy some cheap shocks from bilstein or someone else, and just keep them as spares after the Fox come in. What do you think about that?
