Shock length and extention

[Jake]

I have a SOA with stock leafs and 33's. When the jeep is on flat ground there is only about 4in left in the shock to compress. With that much lift, that is way to short. I have been reading about the taller shock mounts for the front but not a lot of info about the rear. There is more then 4in for the rear so is the typical swap just the front? Should I look into the ford shock towers? Or maybe just a better shock.

I have seen the fox with the resoviour?? Looks a little excessive. The jeep is for rocks and wheeling but still seems like to much shock for me.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Jake

doing the ford shock towers will add 3" or more depending how you mount them.
In the rear you could fab some longer mounts but only an inch or so.
