Car RamRod Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 A while back I installed 2" coil spacers in the front of my comanche to match the height of the back. Ever since then it's been tearing through the upper shock bushings in the front. Should I get longer/softer shocks for the front end? Sorry for the simple question, I've just never dealt with this before. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbert001 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Longer shocks. you are pulling your shocks past full droop, thus, all that's left to absorb the axle droop after a bump is that bushing. If you have good shocks/new shocks, I would think about a set of bar pin eliminators. they will let the lower shock mount ride about 1.5 inches higher, allowing the shock to droop that much further, and they will make your lower shock bushing do it's job better, because it will be contained inside the "eye" of the shock, whereas the bar pin allows it to bulge out of the eye of the shock.

Car RamRod Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into those eliminators, hopefully they will give me what I need. Do you know how long the stock shock is, or what I should upgrade to if I decide to change shocks? (These are ~5 years old). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
