Honest question...why no rear shock relocation brackets?

[doolin64]

Should be pretty easy to make for 1-2" rear spacers. My Rubicon Gladiator had them. Why not our trucks? Rubicons flex and twist up way more than our trucks. I would think this would be a good option for kits.like the Readylift or Rough Country 3.5" lift.

Something like this.

Just not needed so why add expense to the build

 

[doolin64]

Wouldnt that same logic hold true for the Jeep? When you add something like a 2" rear spacer, the shocks are out of the proper operating zone. Hence the need for longer shocks that are offered. But if people don't want to do shocks and add that cost, I would think these would be a good alternative. Just a thought.

Some factory shocks are actually long enough to accommodate a small lift and still be in their designed range... and sometimes they use the shorter shock to limit axle droop so that other issues don’t arise.
