ICON 2" Rear Shocks EXT vs Standard

I'm currently running the ICON 2" RR rear shocks which I am assuming are standard travel that I got as part of the stage 3T kit from Wheelers off-road along with the ICON AAL in the kit. I am looking at swapping out the rear leafs at some point in the future with Dakars and am wondering if I will need to replace the shocks as well with and extended travel set being as the Dakars estimate a lift of about 2.75" and the standard shocks are only good for 2.5" of lift? I am assuming that this will be the case but figure it is worth asking.

 

Ideally yes, you'll want to swap them out for longer versions to get the full amount of down travel. You can use your current shocks but it will sacrifice that down travel any possibly a little bit of the lift. When ordering new shocks, it would be best to get the recommended extended and compressed lengths from OME and we would build you custom shocks to fit.

 

OK sounds good, thanks for the info Scott!
