What length rear shocks with AP 3" leafs

I am probably going to buy the All Pro 3" leafs, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what length shocks I need get to fit in the stock mounting locations. I will be getting 2.5's, but I'm not sure about the length and I want to get it right the first time. I'm looking at King's/Fox's/Billies; pretty much everything, but if I can find a good deal on some RR triple bypasses... I'd like to grab some of those

You will need to run a bedcage if you want those bypasses. Or atleast a shock hoop that goes up through the bed. Why not just got the fox's from AP?

 

i pm'd a another member on here that had the Dakars and said the AP Fox's didnt extend enough at full flex... im also getting those AP 3"s and plan to talk to Downsouth Motorsports here in the near future

 

the foxes can be had for much cheaper elsewhere than at AP for 300 each.

I am also planning on talking to DSM to hear what they suggest.

Maybe like the Billy 5150's or fox/king piggybacks

 

i plan on going with the Fox 2.0s in whatever length best suits my needs

 

here is the reason why AP's fox shocks are more expensive, this is from Sarah...

SARAH>These are NOT the same Fox Rears that we sell. Ours are exclusive to us and feature the 8-way compression adjuster, have the reservoir mounted on top, and are the correct length for our 3" rear lift. That is a good deal though!

 

DSM has adjustable one with remote resis for 25 less a shock and u can get them in different lengths

 

is it on the website cause i dont see them

 

heres the link to the page, ur going to know what length u need but DSM will be able to get the ones u need

and DSM gives 1 free revalve for any fox or king shock

 

do you know how they mount, it looks like you will need something to install these for the top part of the shock.

 

no not sure, but i know the bilstein 5125s need a special mount also, so i bet most of these shocks will need a mounting kit
