    Anyone know of some 12 inch shocks that will fit in the stock rear location? so far all I have found with some extended travel are the Bilstein b110.

    aint gonna happen.

    There just isnt physically enough room at compression to fit a shock body that supports 12in of travel. Longest you are going to get with a 14.5 ish inch compresed length is offerings from OLD man emu (N182 shocks which are discontinued)

    even the B110 is too long for stock mounting locations unless you have a REAL thick spring pack (all pro pack) or a block (eww)

    we need way more info. are you lifted? why do you think you need a 12" shock? use of the truck?

    are we talking a 6" DB lift with 20" wheels that might see mud?

    I think with lift, the max you could fit would be some tens. I have SUA on mine and I have a shock relocation for 12 inches. It took ever bit of space to fit that 12.

    Currently I have all pro standard leaf packs with fox 2.0 shocks. I want to do a shackle flip with 12inch shocks for more flex. So far all I have seen are the b110 in the stock location but I would like a little more if possible

    ok, so you want to gain the most flex, you will need to do custom upper mounts, no other way around it.

    If you search "Shock relocation" you should find some answers and more pics, you will also need all pro extended rear brake lines. Check out BAMF they have cool shock relocation kit for 2nd or 1st gen that you can run a 12" shock and get full travel from the All Pro leafs...:thumbsup:

    Run a new upper mount outside frame rail. 14" resi would be a great way to get around 6+ inches of down travel
