    I spent a ton of time researching back and forth and can't find a solid answer. I've seen 2nd gen guys run the 9.5" 5125's, but can't find much on first gens. I feel like everyone with first gens runs the 8" and 8.5" combo (we have unequal length shocks on each side).

    Anyways I'm running a 3" lift and bought the 10" 5125's years back and unsurprisingly blew the seals on one from bottoming out. I didn't do the proper research and ran 2 10" 5125's.

    From what I've read the 8" and 8.5" combo may not be long enough for my application.

    Currently I'm trying to figure out if I can run these to replace my blown 10" 5125's:

    33-230412 (9") Driver side
    $118 33-230337 5125 Series Single Monotube Shock fits Custom Vehicles - Designed for Custom Applications
    33-230337 (9.5") Passenger side

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks!


    Also, in case anyone cares it's a 96 with Wheeler's 5 pack, AAL, and 1" Toytech shackles, and I do have the extended brake line.
