BAMF 2nd Gen and 3rd gen rear shock relocation kit.

Does anyone know if the recommended shock is for stock height? Or lifted? Have about 4" rear lift and I want to get the correct extended and collapsed lengths

 

From stock to a 3" lift any higher you will have to measure compressed and extended eye to eye to determine what shock length to use.

 

Got it, thank you!

 

Something is happening today

 

Nice. I was thinking of running billies in the mean time until I could actually afford kings. Let us know how they work out.

 

I will. These are actually the 14” 5125s too. So not the 12”.

 

BAMF shock relocation with 14” Bilstein 5125s installed. Having to run 1.25” spacers in the rear with my 35s to keep them from hitting the shock on the uptravel. At full compression I have literally about 1” left of shock shaft showing as you can see in the pictures.

Thank you @Jerneyman for the services and a good day in the garage. Glad to have the limitations back on my springs and not my shocks.

 

Time to move to a set of 3.5BS wheels

 

You just might be right lol

 

Are you running the stock rubber bushings in those factory shackles? Which leaf pack?

 

It's what I had to do, spent a while in denial but going from 4.5 to 3.5 was a much better solution for me than spacers.

 

Yes the only bushings replaced back there are the ones in the Dakar leaf pack.

 

If you replace them with poly bushings you’ll gain more droop. The stock rubber ones aren’t meant to articulate that much. Energy suspension makes them. And if those are Dakar leafs, you’ll wanna trim the third leaf so it doesn’t get caught under the rear leaf hanger.

This is dakars, 12” shocks and the poly bushings in the shackles on my friends truck.

 

I think I’m going to get the archive garage hangers with poly bushings.

 

That's the combo I have and I'm quite happy with it. The relocate and Hammer hangers work great together

 

That’s what I have and I love the set up. My 12” shocks are too short so I got some limit straps. You’d be better off with your 14”.

 

Yeah the 14 are great for the droop, and just just about too long for the compression. I mean I literally have that 1” of shaft showing lol

 

Oh yeah I forgot the fact we’re in the BAMF thread for relocate. Yeah uptravel May suffer a bit haha

 

I’m hitting my super bumps at compression so I’m good with the uptravel. I didn’t space them up or anything.

 

Is there a TW code we can use at checkout for TW pricing @JLee ? I’m getting really hyped on this relocation kit as my next purchase. Such a great kit you have here. It’s crazy to me that this kit + some 12” 2.0 King smoothies is almost exactly the same price as King bolt-in stock shocks that so many guys run (which are very short shocks).
